Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Daring Original Plant Chicken Pieces, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoons butter (sub vegan if desired)
  • 1/2 pound mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ½ cups boxed low-sodium veggie broth or homemade stock, plus more if needed
  • ½ tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • ¾ cups arborio rice
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (sub vegan if desired)
  • 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Step 1

Gather the ingredients.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the butter over moderate heat. Add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are browned, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chicken, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cook until the Daring Pieces are just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer.

Step 4

In the large pot, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir until it begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the wine and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt to the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the wine has been absorbed.

Step 6

Add about 1/2 cup of the simmering broth and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently; adjust the heat as needed.

Step 7

Continue cooking the rice, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next 1/2 cup. Cook the rice in this way until tender, 25 to 30 minutes in all. The broth that hasn’t been absorbed should be thickened by the starch from the rice. You may not need to use all the liquid, or you may need more broth or some water.

Step 8

Stir in the Daring Pieces and mushrooms, the Parmesan, and the parsley and heat through. Serve the risotto with additional Parmesan.
