Equipment
- 1 Large pot or dutch oven
- 1 Wood Spoon or Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 4 cups Chicken Stock or Chicken Broth
- 1 cup Arborio Rice
- ½ cup Dry Marsala Wine
- ½ cup Yellow Onion
- 1-2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Dried Oregano
- ½ cup Mascarpone Cheese
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- Fresh Italian Parsley to garnish if desired
Instructions
- Set a large enameled dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces. Dust the chicken with a light coating of cornstarch, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Sauté the chicken until it's golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot, transfer it to a plate, and set it aside.
- Next, add the other tablespoon of butter, diced onion, and minced garlic. Stir the onions well and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly translucent.
- Add the arborio rice and stir it well so the butter coats the rice completely. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes.
- Now it's time to add the half cup Marsala wine. Stir it in really well and bring it to a bubble.
- After the wine as reduced, you can start adding the chicken stock about 1 cup at a time. Add a cup of warm chicken stock, stir it well, bring it to a boil and let the rice absorb the liquid. Reduce to medium heat if needed.
- Repeat 3 times or until the rice is tender and cooked through.
- When the rice is cooked through, you can add back the chicken and stir in the mascarpone cheese. Taste for seasoning and add salt or pepper if needed.
- Stir it so it's well combined. Top with parmesan cheese and minced parsley.
