Directions

Prep 10 minCook 30 min
  1. 1

    Chop the onion and precook the chicken breast, then dice it to yield about 1 1/4 cups of chicken.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan, bring the broth and 4 cups of water to a simmer and keep warm.

  3. 3

    Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the rice and thyme, stirring until the rice is glossy, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Add 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.

  4. 4

    Ladle in the hot broth, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is just tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the thyme. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and pepper to taste. Gently stir in the fontina cheese and chicken.

  6. 6

    Reserve about 2 cups of risotto for Risotto Cakes. Divide the rest among bowls and top with parsley and more fontina cheese.
