Chicken & Prosciutto Spring Pea Risotto

with Parmesan

5 min
Difficulty: 2/3

Creamy and luxurious, risotto is one of our very favorite ways to highlight tender green vegetables. This version has pops of sweet peas, salty, crispy prosciutto, and a garlicky roasted chicken cutlet nestled on top. It's finished with savory, freshly grated Parmesan and a squeeze of bright lemon juice.

Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  • In a medium pot, combine 5 cups water (9 cups for 4 servings) and stock concentrates. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. (You'll use the stock in Step 4.)

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Zest and quarter lemon.

2
Crisp Prosciutto

  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto in a single layer; sear until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side (if prosciutto starts to crisp too quickly, reduce heat to medium).

  • Turn off heat; transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve oil in pan. Once prosciutto is cool enough to handle, roughly chop.

3
Season & Roast Chicken

  • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet and season all over with half the garlic powder (you'll use the rest in the next step), salt, and pepper. TIP: For easier cleanup, line baking sheet with foil first.

  • Roast on top rack until chicken is browned and cooked through, 18-22 minutes.

  • Transfer to a cutting board to rest.

4
Cook Risotto

  • While chicken cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan with reserved prosciutto oil over medium-high heat. Add rice and remaining garlic powder; cook, stirring, until rice is translucent, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Add ½ cup stock (1 cup for 4 servings) to pan; stir until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock—adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has mostly absorbed—until rice is al dente and mixture has thickened, 25-30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper. (Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less liquid for the risotto.)

5
Finish Risotto

  • Reduce heat to medium low. Add cream cheese and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); stir until well combined.

  • Grate half the Parmesan over risotto. Add peas; cook, stirring, until cheese is incorporated and peas are warmed through, 1-2 minutes.

  • Stir half the prosciutto into risotto until combined.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Thinly slice chicken crosswise.

  • Divide risotto between bowls; top with a squeeze of lemon juice. Top risotto with chicken. Sprinkle everything with lemon zest and remaining prosciutto. Grate remaining Parmesan over top. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
