The finished recipe. Chicken and Mushroom RisottoIngredients 1 to 6. 300 g Chicken breast (Weighed raw. The same piece weighed after cooking has lost water, so the protein per gram is higher and the total would come out about a quarter over.). 140 g Basmati rice (Basmati stands in for risotto rice in the table. Use arborio or carnaroli if you have it; the figures are close. Dry weight, before cooking.). 250 g Mushrooms. 80 g Onion. 2 cloves, about 6 g Garlic. 700 ml, hot Chicken stock (Made up from a cube or a pot.)Ingredients 7 to 11. 100 ml Dry white wine (Some of the alcohol cooks off. The calories here are counted in full.). 30 g Parmesan. 8 g Olive oil. A few sprigs Fresh thyme. Plenty Black pepperStep 1. Fry the sliced mushrooms in half the oil over a high heat until they brown and squeak, about six minutes. Tip them out.Step 2. Soften the chopped onion in the rest of the oil for five minutes, add the garlic, thyme and rice, and stir for a minute until the grains look glassy.Step 3.
