Instructions
1
Cut the chicken breasts into even cubes, season with salt and pepper. In a pan, quickly sear the chicken in a tablespoon of olive oil until golden brown on the outside but still juicy inside. Remove the meat from the pan and keep warm.
2
Add the remaining oil to the same pan and sauté the finely chopped shallot. Once translucent, add the rice and cook for 2 minutes until the edges become translucent. Stir in the chopped garlic and thyme.
3
Deglaze with white wine and stir until the liquid has completely evaporated.
4
Begin gradually adding the hot stock, one ladle at a time. Stir the rice constantly while adding the liquid so it releases its starch.
5
After 10 minutes of cooking, add the peas to the risotto. Continue adding stock for about another 8 minutes, until the rice is al dente.
6
Return the seared chicken to the pan (along with the juices it released). Remove the pan from the heat.
7
For the final creaminess (mantecatura), stir in cold butter and grated parmesan. If needed, add another ladle of stock for the perfect texture. Cover and let rest for 2 minutes, then serve.
