Lemon Risotto With Pan Roasted Chicken Recipes

LEMON RISOTTO WITH PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200º/390ºF.
• Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper and finely chopped rosemary on both sides.
• Add olive oil to an oven-safe pan and sear the chicken, skin-side down, over high heat until golden brown. Place the pan into the oven and allow to roast for 15-20 minutes (depending on size and if you are using bone-in chicken) or until the chicken breasts just cooked through. Remove and allow to rest.
• In the meantime, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large, deep pan and sauté the onion until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and lemon zest and cook for 30 seconds before adding the risotto rice.
• Allow the rice to toast for a minute, stirring to coat in the oil, then pour in the wine. Stir to combine and allow the rice to simmer until reduced.
• Reduce the heat and add the chicken stock, one ladle at a time, stirring to incorporate until the rice is creamy and cooked to your preference.
• Stir in the Mascarpone, butter, Parmesan and lemon juice then season to taste.
• Slice the chicken breasts and serve on the creamy lemon risotto.

Turn and cook 3 more minutes. Turn the chicken again, stick the pan in the oven and roast until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 more minutes.
• Take the pan out of the oven. Remove the chicken and prosciutto from of the pan and arrange on a platter to keep warm while you prepare the pan sauce. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the pan to the stovetop. Stir in the stock and lemon juice.
