A note about serious food allergies

This meal has creamy and rich all over it: a richly decadent lemon garlic herb butter adorns the seasoned chicken with aplomb. The pea risotto, quicker and less of an arm workout than normal, is all about the creaminess, and the deliciousness. And have we mentioned it's cheesy, too?

Cook the Chicken

Pat chicken dry, and season both sides with garlic pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan. Cover, and cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from burner. While chicken cooks, make risotto.

Start the Risotto

Place a medium pot over medium heat. Add rice, peas, ½ cup water, cream cheese, and chicken base. Bring to a simmer, undisturbed. Once simmering, cook undisturbed until thickened and water is mostly absorbed, 2-3 minutes.

Finish the Risotto

Remove from burner. Stir in garlic salt and plain butter until combined and creamy. Set aside, 2 minutes.
