2 oz freshly grated Parmasean or other hard cheese
2 c frozen peas
Salt and pepper to taste (little needed)

Here is how you make Chicken and Pea Risotto:

Makes 8 good size servings (~1 1/2 c)Cook rice as directed or using a rice cooker. If you are using stock, use stock in place of 3 c of the needed water (if chicken concentrate, you'll add it later).While the rice is cooking, poach your chicken (see my Chicken 'n Dumplings recipe for detailed instructions if needed).Once the chicken is done, shred/cut up the chicken into bite size pieces and add to a large, deep pan (e.g., boulliabase). Place the rice atop the chicken and stir to mix together. If you are using chicken concentrate, add the concentrate directly to the rice mixture and stir until dissolved in the warm rice.Turn the heat to medium low and add the milk. Stir briefly to incorporate (using a rice paddle is most effective) and continue stirring every 2 to 3 minutes until milk has cooked down.Add the cheese in batches and stir to avoid having clumps of cheese in the mixture. Taste and determine if pepper and/or salt is needed. Salt and pepper to taste. Add peas and stir to combine. In 2-3 minutes, the peas will be heated through, and you're ready to serve.This keeps well and is good cold or reheated for the next 2-3 days.
