How to Make Chicken Soup Risotto Style

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb of cubed chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  3. Add 1 cup of chopped carrots, 1/2 cup of chopped celery, 1/2 cup of chopped onion, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. If the pan is sticking, deglaze with 1/2 cup of chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  5. Add 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of water, 1 chicken bouillon cube (or 1 teaspoon of bouillon powder), and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Once the carrots are tender (about 15 minutes), stir in 1 1/2 cups of sushi rice (or arborio rice - adjust cooking time as needed per package instructions).
  8. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes (or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley (or other herbs like thyme or rosemary) before serving.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
