Directions
Prepare risotto:
Add chicken broth to a saucepan and retain on low heat to keep broth hot.
In a large, heavy saucepan heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cooking until soft, but not brown. If onions look like they are cooking too quickly, reduce heat.
Add rice; stir and cook for 2-3 minutes, until grains of rice turn opaque. Add 1/2 cup hot broth to rice mixture and cook, stirring until broth is absorbed. Continue to cook; adding broth 1/2 cup at a time. Scrape sides and bottom of pan to prevent sticking.
When each addition of broth is absorbed, add another 1/2 cup. When 2/3 of the broth has been absorbed, stir in tomato paste and more broth.
When that has been absorbed, add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, red pepper and red pepper flakes. Continue stirring and adding broth until rice is creamy and texture is slightly chewy. Turn off heat; add mozzarella and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add parmesan cheese, stir to blend.
Prepare grilled chicken & vegetables:
In a bowl, mix together 1-1/2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, mustard and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Cook asparagus in a large skillet of boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, set aside.
Grill chicken on lightly oiled grill rack for 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Cool.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet and saute the bell peppers and onion, about 2 minutes.
Cut chicken into bite-size slices. Place chicken in a large bowl and toss with fresh rosemary. Stir in pepper and onion mixture, asparagus and sun-dried tomatoes. Add proscuitto and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken over risotto. |
