A Complete Comfort Food Meal in One Bowl

If you want the texture of the risotto to be similar to one that was made the traditional way, I recommend you cook this on high for 2-3 hours. If you cook it on low for 5-6 hours the texture will be softer – but it will taste just as delicious!

INGREDIENTS

• 1¼ cups Arborio Rice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 8 oz baby portobello mushrooms, cleaned and halved
• 1 cup frozen cut carrots (or other veggies)
• 1 large chicken breast (about ¾ pound)
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup heavy cream (for later)
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese (for later)

Instructions:

Add all the ingredients (except the chicken) to crock pot and mix.

Place chicken in crock and cover.

Cook on high for 2-3 hours for best risotto texture, or low for 5-6 for a softer texture.

Remove chicken once fully cooked and shred with two forks – return to crock.

Add cream and cheese and give everything a gentle stir to combine.
