This oven-baked pumpkin, leek & chicken risotto is a delightful and hearty dish perfect for a cozy meal at home. The combination of tender chicken, creamy risotto, and the delightful flavors of pumpkin and leek come together to create a comfort food classic that is both nutritious and satisfying.
- Opt for Arborio rice if you can. Although the recipe calls for white rice, Arborio rice will give your risotto a creamier texture.
- More flavor: Add a splash of white wine to the rice before adding the chicken gravy for a more robust flavor profile.
- Check the doneness: Ensure that the pumpkin pieces are tender and the chicken is thoroughly cooked before serving. If needed, extend the baking time slightly.
- Stir frequently: Give the risotto a good stir halfway through cooking to ensure even absorption of the gravy and even cooking.
- Rest before serving: Allow the risotto to sit for a few minutes after baking to let the flavors meld together and for the texture to settle.
- Garnish: Fresh herbs like parsley or basil make a great garnish and add a fresh note to the dish.
This oven-baked pumpkin, leek & chicken risotto is a fantastic meal that is sure to please the entire family. With its rich flavors and creamy texture, it’s a dish that's not only comforting but also nutritious. Enjoy this delightful meal with a sprinkle of extra parmesan and a side of fresh green salad.
