Chicken with Marsala Risotto
Ingredients
  • 2 cups thinly sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
  • 1/2 of a large sweet onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup uncooked Arborio rice
  • 3 clovesgarlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup dry Marsala
  • 2 1/2 - 3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons snipped fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 14 - 16 ounces chicken breast tenderloins
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Asiago or Parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach leaves
Directions

1. In a large saucepan cook mushrooms and onion in hot oil over medium heat about 10 minutes or until tender and light brown, stirring occasionally. Add rice and 1 clove of the garlic. Cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes or until rice begins to brown. Remove from heat. Carefully add Marsala; return to heat. Cook and stir until Marsala is absorbed.

2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan bring broth to boiling; reduce heat and simmer. Slowly add 1/2 cup of the broth to rice mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until broth is absorbed. Add the remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until broth is absorbed. (This should take 15 to 20 minutes).

3. In a small bowl combine thyme, rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, and the salt. Rub the remaining 2 cloves garlic over chicken; sprinkle with thyme mixture. Lightly coat both sides of chicken with cooking spray.

4. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning once. If chicken browns too quickly, reduce heat to medium.

5. Add cheese and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper to rice mixture, stirring until cheese is melted. Stir in spinach. Spoon rice mixture onto serving plates. Top with chicken.
