Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 whole Roasted red peppers
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 4 cups Chicken broth
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then rub them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and arrange the roasted red peppers on top. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 4

While the chicken bakes, heat the chicken broth in a saucepan over low heat and keep it warm.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Add the white wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid is almost absorbed.

Step 7

Begin adding the warm chicken broth to the rice, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and waiting for each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.

Step 8

Repeat this process for about 20 minutes until the rice is tender and creamy.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 10

Remove the roasted chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice them into medallions if desired.

Step 11

Serve the creamy risotto on a plate and top with sliced chicken and roasted red peppers. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 12

Enjoy your Princess Roasted Red Pepper Chicken with Creamy Risotto!
