Ingredients
-
7 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon Infused Olive Oil, divided
-
3 Tbsp Meyer Lemon White Barrel Aged Balsamic
-
1 Tbsp Mediterranean Rosemary Rub & Seasoning
-
1 tsp Rosemary Infused Sea Salt
-
4 Chicken Thighs
-
2 cups Asiago Lemon Spinach Risotto
-
1 cup White Wine
-
4-5 cups Chicken Stock
-
2 cups Spinach, chiffonade
-
Parmesan Cheese, to finish
Directions
In a large bowl or Ziploc bag mix together chicken thighs, 3 Tbsp olive oil, vinegar, rub, and salt. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, while you start the risotto.
In a large wide saucepan heat 4 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add the Asiago Lemon Risotto mix and stir until well coated. Cook until slightly toasted, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the wine and stir continually. Allow to fully cook off. Add chicken thighs into the pan.
Add 1 cup stock at a time and stir until liquid is absorbed before adding another cup.
Once you add your last cup of stock, turn heat to medium-low and cover the pan, simmering until chicken is cooked through about 20 mins being careful not to burn risotto in the bottom of the pan. Stir in chopped spinach.
Serve immediately with fresh parmesan.

I have made this recipe multiple times and it comes out perfectly every time. It is easy to make and I love putting together gift bags with the recipe and all the Olivelle ingredients needed for it.
