Cranberry Chicken and Spinach Risotto

Cranberry Chicken and Spinach Risotto
  • Prep Time

    15 minutes
  • Cooking Time

    25-30 minutes

Ingredients

15g/1/2oz dried mushrooms

25g/1oz butter

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

1 garlic clove, crushed

350g/12oz risotto rice

150ml/1/4 pint white wine

750ml/1/1/4 pints hot chicken stock

225g/8oz leftover cooked chicken, cut into chunks

1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

2 tbsp olive oil

450g/1lb mixed mushrooms

75g/3oz baby spinach leaves

4 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

4 tbsp Ocean Spray® Wholeberry Cranberry Sauce

Steps

Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl with 150ml/1/4pint boiling water and leave to soak for 20 minutes. Remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and roughly chop. Reserve the mushroom liquor.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan and fry the onion for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and rice and fry for 1 minute. Pour over the white wine and scatter over the soaked mushrooms and cook stirring until the wine has almost evaporated.

Pour over the reserved mushroom liquor and half the stock. Stir in the cooked chicken and thyme and simmer gently stirring occasionally for 15 minutes until the stock has been absorbed. Gradually add the remaining stock and simmer for a further 5-10 minutes until the rice is creamy and just tender.

Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and fry the mushrooms over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until golden. Stir in the spinach leaves, remove from the heat and stir until the spinach is just wilted.

Stir the Parmesan cheese and Ocean Spray® Wholeberry Cranberry Sauce into the risotto and season to taste. Either spoon the mushroom mixture over the top of the risotto to serve or stir through the risotto. Serve immediately.
