Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 250 g mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • Zest and juice of a fresh lemon πŸ‹
  • A lush bunch of dill 🌿
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • A pinch of salt and pepper to taste πŸ§‚
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan grated πŸ§€
  • 1 tbsp butter 🧈

Method
 

  1. Pan fry those chicken thighs until they're beautifully golden. Once done, set them aside for a moment.
  2. In the same pan, toss in the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until those mushrooms begin to feel the groove and soften up.
  3. Now, sprinkle in the Arborio rice, pour in the chicken stock, and add that lovely lemon zest. Pop that chicken back in and let it all simmer and mingle for around 15 to 20 mins. You're looking for that rice to get soft and absorb all the flavours. Give it a quick stir every 5 minutes or so. You don’t have to stir it the whole time.
  4. As the grand finale, pop in the peas, butter, dill, tangy lemon juice, and the star of the show - Parmesan.
  5. Give it a hearty stir, ensuring the peas are warmed through and everything’s mixed well.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy every spoonful of this creamy dream! πŸ₯„πŸ’›
