Progresso Broth

Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 medium red bell peppers, chopped (2 cups)
2 cups sliced mushrooms (6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups uncooked Arborio or other short-grain rice
4 1/4 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from two 32-ounce cartons)
2 cups broccoli flowerets
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps

1

Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, garlic, bell peppers and mushrooms in oil 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are crisp-tender. Stir in rice. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
2

Stir in 1/2 cup of the broth. Cook, stir-ring constantly, until liquid is completely absorbed. Stir in an additional 1/2 cup broth. Continue cooking about 20 minutes, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time after previous additions have been absorbed and stirring constantly, until rice is creamy and just tender; remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients. Let stand 1 minute.

Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
Risotto is done when enough broth has been absorbed to make the rice just tender and the mixture creamy.
For the meat lovers in your family, broil boneless, skinless chicken breasts brushed with Italian dressing, and serve this colorful risotto as a side dish.
