Stir in the rice and cook until rice turns opaque.Stir in the wine and finely chopped asparagus.Cook stirring constantly until wine evaporatesReduce heat to medium and stir in 1/3 of the stock. Cook stirring constantly until liquid is absorbed.Add next 1/3 and cook until absorbed.Season with oregano and basil. Stir in remaining stock and cook stirring constantly until absorbed.Season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and chickenNote: If you are busy, stirring constantly can also mean, stirring well occaisionally. Still tastes good.I find the full 1/2 cup of cheese can be overpowering, it still tastes good with less.I use other veg instead of asparagus, usually fine beans. It still tastes goodNumber of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user BRONTE7723.
