The perfect basic risotto to build on.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter2/3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, shreaded or cubed
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
5½ cups chicken soup or stock
1 tablespoon cooking oil
½ cup onion, chopped
1½ cup arborio rice
½ cup dry white wine
½ cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for serving)
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Preparation
Bring stock/soup to a low simmer.Heat butter over moderate heat in a separate pan. Add the chicken, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Cook until the chicken is just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the mixture from the pan.
Add oil and heat over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the rice and stir until it begins to turn opaque, about 2 minutes.
Add the wine and the remaining ¾ teaspoon salt to the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until all of the wine has been absorbed.
Add about ½ cup of the simmering broth and cook, stirring frequently, until it has been absorbed. The rice and broth should bubble gently; adjust the heat as needed.
Continue cooking the rice, adding broth ½ cup at a time and allowing the rice to absorb it before adding the next ½ cup.
Continue until the rice is tender, 25 to 30 minutes. The broth that hasn't been absorbed should be thickened by the starch from the rice. You may not need to use all the liquid, or you may need more broth or some water.
Stir in the chicken, parmesan, and parsley. Heat through.
Serve the risotto with additional parmesan.

Hot Tips
How to tell your roast chicken is ready
Pierce the thigh of your chicken with a skewer to determine it is cooked through. This is the thickest part of the bird, and if the juices run clear (with no blood) you will know it is cooked.
