Yummy chicken risotto: First-up on the menu tonight is chicken risotto. Are you salivating yet? Go ahead and get the following easy-to-find ingredients that you’ll need. Grab a teaspoon of salt and pepper, and have a finely chopped onion ready. Next, get three cups of rice (the more aromatic, the better), five boneless chicken breasts that are nicely chopped-up, two garlic gloves, five cups of chicken broth/stock, a chili or pepper, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite herbs and spices. Place your chili into a baking dish, along with small chunks of the boneless chicken breasts and rice. Add the salt, pepper, finely-cut onion, garlic cloves and spoons of spices and herbs. Mix it all-up and place in an over that’s been preheated to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook your masterpiece for around and hour and a half. Afterwards, add your three cups of rice and cook an additional 25 minutes. Check on it frequently, to make sure it isn’t too dry, and add a splash of water if it is and stir. Finally, enjoy!
Chicken risotto-this diet is wonderful after all!: Here’s another one that’s great if you have a wheat allergy. It’s lovingly called “chicken risotto”-you’ve probably even heard of it before. This recipe, however, is a nice alternative to the regular and tastes—well, better than the original. Start out by scurrying-up five cups of gluten-free chicken broth, an onion, five chicken breasts (boneless), three cups of basmati rice, a dash of salt, and a teaspoon of pepper. Also, go ahead and get a couple tablespoons of your preferred herb and spice, a chili, and a couple of garlic cloves. Moving right along get oven preheated to about 380 degrees. Grab a baking dish and put your finely chopped onion (you did finely chop the onion, right?) and garlic in it. Slice-up your chicken breasts, round-up your pepper, salt, chili and broth and add to the onions and garlic mix. Stir-well, stick it in the oven, and let it bake for an hour and a half. After it has baked for that long, stir in your rice, and slide it back in the oven. Bake the whole thing now for around 25-30 minutes. It’s a good idea to check on it after about ten minutes to ensure it is not too thick or dry. If so add a little water, and bon appetite.
Since you probably have a wheat allergy if you’re reading this, take extra caution when buying/picking-out ingredients. Even if the above ingredients do not explicitly say “gluten-free” on any ingredient, always make certain that it is, in fact, gluten-free (or wheat-free, same difference). This is only a very, very miniscule offering for those with a celiac disorder.
