Elevate your chicken and mushroom risotto with the addition of barley for a delicious twist!
Ingredients:
  • 750ml chicken stock
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 500g Chicken Thigh Fillets, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, sliced
  • 300g mixed mushrooms, halved or quartered if large
  • 250ml white wine
  • 200g pearl barley
  • 40g parmesan
  • 120g baby spinach leaves
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the stock and 1 cup (250ml) water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover to keep warm.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan until sizzling. Sear the chicken for 6 minutes until perfectly cooked, then transfer to a heatproof bowl.
  • In the same pan, heat the rest of the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion and mushroom until the mushroom is browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the barley and stock mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes until the barley is tender and the liquid is nearly evaporated, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!
  • Mix in half of the parmesan and the spinach, then generously garnish the risotto with the remaining parmesan before serving.
