Enjoy the night off 🙂 How to make slow cooker chicken risotto: key tips Just like cooking a risotto on the stovetop, you start by softening the onion and garlic in a pan. When you add the rice, give it a good stir so that it is coated in the onion mixture. Then cook it, stirring, for a minute or two to ‘toast’ the rice a little. This will create a thin protective layer around each grain that will help it absorb the liquid slowly and more evenly, which will give your risotto a better texture and flavour. Once in the slow cooker, it’s easy to overcook the rice, and every slow cooker is different, so this isn’t a slow-cooker recipe you can walk away from for the day. Make sure to check regularly until the rice is just cooked. Key ingredients in this slow cooker chicken risotto recipe The cook uses breast chicken in this recipe, which is a lean and affordable cut. You could also use chicken thigh fillets, if you wish. Arborio rice is best for a risotto because it has a high starch content and the short thick grains easily absorb liquids while releasing starch, creating the characteristic creaminess associated with risotto. Opt for a dry white wine, such as chardonnay or pinot grigio/gris. The wine imparts a lovely flavour, but if you would like to omit it, simply add an extra ½ cup (125ml) of stock. This recipe has a good hit of rosemary. If you prefer a more subtle flavour, reduce the amount to 1 sprig, or even half a sprig. You could also add other herbs, such as chopped fresh parsley or sage, if you like. I also recommend a good sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper when serving, along with the parmesan.
