Course Main Dish
Cuisine Italian
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 cups chicken broth about 64 oz. or 4 cans
  • 6-8 oz. fresh spinach
  • 8 oz. sliced mushrooms
  • 4 green onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • pepper to taste
  • 8 chicken tenderloins

Instructions
 

  • Use a medium stockpot to heat the olive oil. Add the rice to the stockpot and stir to coat with the olive oil. Continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 cups of broth in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. Add the hot broth to the stockpot, 1 cup at a time, and stir until the broth is absorbed.
  • Continue heating the broth in the microwave, adding it to the stockpot, and stirring it into the rice, cup by cup.
  • Meanwhile, cook the chicken in a large skillet. When it is cooked through, remove the chicken to a plate.
  • Cook the mushrooms, spinach, and chopped onions in the skillet for 3-5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the mushrooms are tender.
  • When the rice is cooked and tender, add the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture to the risotto, along with the shredded parmesan cheese.
  • Top with a little more parmesan to serve.
