Thanks

Sure you can - it was delicious! I love risotto!! You really dont need to put chicken in it, u can have it with bacon or pancetta or no meat at all its sooo good...
Creamy Vegetable Risotto 11pp
Ingredients
90g Arborio Rice
1 chicken stock cube
50g Low fat soft cheese
Garlic
Chilli Powder
& All the 0pp veg you want! (I'd normally put in Mushrooms, Spring Onions and spinach)
Directions
Make approx 3/4 pint of stock from stock cube and set aside.
Use large frying pan put heat up to med/high setting and spray a few low fat cooking spray
Put the vegetables into the frying pan and fry for a few minutes then add the rice, continuously moving.
Add crushed garlic
Once vegetables are soft add some stock (about half a ladel) and cook on medium heat until there is no stock left in frying pan. Keep adding stock to the pan a ladel at a time until there is none left.
Check the rice to make sure its cooked if not add a little water and keep doing so until it is cooked.
If rice is sticking together add water to loosen up.
Add low fat soft cheese and stir into the risotto.
Sprinkle a bit of chilli powder
Season to taste (i usually dont add salt or pepper as its tastful enough!)
Hey presto! Done!
If you add chicken then cook this seperately in another frying pan and add at the end (otherwise it will overcook) if using pancetta or bacon add at the beginning with all the vegetables. If you use peas these should be added at the end also otherwise it will be mush lol Remember to point chicken or bacon or peas or anything else you add that isn't 0pp veg!
Wish i'd taken a picture of it to show u all!!
