Crockpot Apple Risotto Recipes

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN RISOTTO

Steps:

• In 3- to 4-quart slow cooker, mix chicken, onion, carrot, garlic and water.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours.
• Stir in rice and butter. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 5 minutes until rice is tender. Stir in soup and cheese. Cover; cook 10 to 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND APPLES

Steps:

• Sprinkle salt and pepper all over the inside of the chicken. Put the whole apple inside the chicken cavity and place chicken into a slow cooker, breast-side down. Pour apple juice around chicken.
• Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 4 to 6 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the slow cooker, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.

APPLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the chicken broth in a small saucepan until boiling. Adjust the heat to a steady simmer.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy, large saucepan over low heat. Add onion and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add the rice and 1 cup of the apples; saute, stirring for 3 minutes.
• Stir in the wine and boil, stirring, until wine is reduced by half.
• Add enough hot broth (about 1/2 cup) to just cover the rice. Simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until almost all of the broth has been absorbed, about 3-4 minutes.
• Continue adding hot broth in 1/2 cup incriments, stirring constantly, until all broth is absorbed and rice is pulling away from the pan. During last 5 minutes, add remaining 1 cup of diced apples.
• Cook until creamy and center is done. Remove from heat.
• Stir in last 2 tablespoons of butter with the parmesian cheese, stir well. Serve immediately with additional cheese.

SLOW COOKER RISOTTO

Steps:

CROCKPOT APPLE RISOTTO

Steps:

• Dice/mince the apples and sweat them in a skillet along with the butter, cinnamon, allspice, and salt until they release their juices (3-5 min or so). I like to use my food processor for this step, so they're more minced than diced.
• Depending on your crockpot, you may want to coat it in a nonstick spray.
• Mix everything together in the crock put, set on high, and let cook for 2.5-3 hours or until all the liquid is gone.
