Risotto and Chicken with Creamy Basil Sauce..
Hi all, first time posting here!
Here is what I made tonight, so simple!
Risotto (Serves 4)
2 cups Aborio Rice
3 1/2 cups of chicken of vege stock
2 Tbl spoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoon minced garlic
Combine all in a 12 cup bowl, cover with double cling wrap and microwave for 10mins, stir, microwave for a further 8 mins or until most of the stock is absorbed.
To add extras like mushrooms and spinach, add when you stir.
Chicken with creamy basil and lemon sauce.
2 chicken breasts
Sauce:
100ml Cream
2 teaspoons garlic pesto
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons leamon juice
1 Tablespoon of all purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook the chicken breasts slowly in a fry fan until golden brown.
For sauce, add all ingredients (expt flour) in a saucepan on a low heat, stirring constantly, add flour after it has come to a low boil.. stir vigorously so there are no lumps. You may need to add a bit more flour to make it thicken.. I didn't measure anything so just play with it :P
Serve on top of then Chicken Breast and with any vegies + risotto! :)
Also.. May want to half the risotto mixture as it made twice as much as needed!
