Roast Chicken Risotto
All day Monday I was tossing around different ideas for how to create the second half of my Stretch It post based on roast chicken. We had a lot of chicken in the fridge from the night before. Chicken Quesadillas? A little boring maybe. Tortilla soup? I didn’t have time to think through something I’ve never made before. I even thought of cheating and running the Chicken Noodle Soup post we created for The 20 Minute Supper Club (we’re doing a month’s worth of weekly posts for them) but we’re saving that one for now. On my way to pick up Esme I popped into my favourite bookstore: Type on Queen West. I could spend hours there poking around, chatting to the lovely staff but on Monday I had a mission. Straight to the cook books, on the hunt for inspiration. And like so many great ideas, when I came across it it seemed so obvious. In a Nigel Slater cookbook – I think it was Real Cooking, sorry I’m not completely sure – I found Roast Chicken Risotto. Ding, ding, ding!
The result is so creamy and satisfying – it’s like the risotto version of a chicken pot pie. Everybody loved it. Sadly, there were no leftovers!
