plus Creamy Mushroom Sauce & Crispy Onions

Yield: 2

Adapted from: Hello Fresh

A rich, creamy truffle-infused risotto served top it off with tender, herby chicken, and a luscious mushroom cream sauce.
Prep: 10 Cook: 50

  • 1onion
  • 1TBS Italian seasoning
  • 4oz button mushrooms
  • 1oz crispy fried onions
  • 1clove garlic
  • ¼oz parsley
  • 1½TBS sour cream
  • 4oz cream sauce base
  • 2TBS black truffle butter
  • 4oz chicken stock concentrates
  • ¾cups arborio rice
  • 10oz chicken cutlets
  • salt & pepper
  • cooking oil
  • butter


Prep:

In a medium pot, bring 5 cups water to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. (You’ll use the water in Step 3.) Wash and dry produce.

Halve, peel, and dice onion. Trim and thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!). Peel and mince or grate garlic. Pick parsley leaves from stems, roughly chop leaves.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place on a plate and season all over with 2 tsp Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. (You’ll use the rest of the Italian Seasoning in the next step.)

Start risotto:

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add rice, remaining Italian Seasoning, 1 TBS plain butter, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until rice is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes.

Cook risotto:

Add 1 cup of simmering water and three chicken stock concentrates to pan with rice mixture. Cook, stirring, until liquid is mostly absorbed.

Repeat with remaining simmering water— adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has absorbed—until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy, 25-30 minutes.

Tip: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less liquid. If you prefer your risotto more al dente, cook for less time.

Cook chicken:

While risotto cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Tip: If chicken starts to brown too quickly, lower heat to medium and cover pan with lid.

Turn off heat, transfer to a cutting board and tent with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out pan.

Make mushroom sauce:

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring, until browned and softened, 3- to 4-minutes.

Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in ⅓ cup plain water and remaining chicken stock concentrate, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook until reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove from heat, stir in sour cream, 1 TBS cream sauce base, and 1 TBS plain butter until melted and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Finish risotto:

Add remaining cream sauce base (not the mushroom sauce!) to pan with risotto, stir to combine. Cook until slightly thickened, 1 minute more.

Remove from heat, stir in truffle butter (for a subtler truffle flavor, use less truffle butter or simply replace it with regular butter) and half the parsley (save the rest for serving) until melted and combined.

Tip: Risotto should be a little loose and saucy right before serving, it will thicken as it cools. If it is too thick, add a splash of water.

Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve:

Slice chicken crosswise.

Divide risotto between plates. Top with chicken, mushroom sauce, crispy onions, and remaining parsley. Serve.

Adapted from: Hello Fresh

Southern-fried, Milanese-style, schnitzel, Kiev—the dishes come from all corners of the world! True to form, this Japanese-style rendition is comforting and delicious. Here, chicken is pounded thin, coated in panko and cornstarch, then flash-fried until light and crunchy. On the side is a classic katsu dipping sauce, plus tender roasted green beans and ginger rice.
Prep: 5 Cook: 30

  • 1thumb ginger
  • 6oz green beans
  • 1tsp garlic powder
  • 1TBS cornstarch
  • 4TBS katsu sauce
  • ½cup jasmine rice
  • 10oz chicken cutlets
  • ½cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2TBS sour cream
  • 1TBS sesame seeds
  • salt & pepper
  • cooking oil
  • butter


Cook rice:

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Wash and dry produce.

Peel and mince or grate ginger.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger, cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1- to 2-minutes.

Stir in rice and ¾ cup water. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, for 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Roast green beans:

While rice cooks, toss green beans on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, season with salt and pepper.

Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.

Pound chicken:

Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or heavy-bottomed pan until ½ inch thick. Season all over with garlic powder, salt, and pepper

Bread chicken:

On a shallow dish or plate, combine panko, cornstarch, and ½ tsp salt. Brush a thin layer of sour cream onto both sides of chicken (you may not use all the sour cream). Working one piece at a time, press chicken into panko mixture, coating all over.

Cook chicken:

Heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a pinch of panko sizzles when added to the pan, add chicken. Cook until panko is golden-brown, and chicken is cooked through, 2- to 3-minutes per side.

Tip: Thinner pieces will cook faster.

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Finish & serve:

Place katsu sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave until warm, 20 seconds.

Fluff rice with a fork, stir in 1 TBS butter and season with salt and pepper.
