Ingredients
- 120 g Chorizo diced

- 1 Onion diced
- 150 g Risotto rice
- 500 ml Chicken stock
- 30 g Butter
- 30 g Grated parmesan plus extra for serving

Instructions
- Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan, cook the chicken and chorizo over a high heat for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is sealed, and the chorizo starts to turn crispy.

- Chuck in the onion and cook until it softens, then add in the risotto rice and cook for a further few minutes, whilst continuously stirring.
- Pour in the chicken stock, then get the chicken and chorizo back in the pan. Simmer for about 15 minutes, whilst stirring occasionally until the stock has been absorbed.
- Add in the butter and grated parmesan and stir well. Once the butter melts stir through the chopped parsley and then taste for seasoning.
- Dish it up, then finish it with more grated parmesan and some crispy chorizo slices (optional).

Delicious recipe. I add a handful of peas when I adding the butter and Parmesan cheese. On serving, I ladle up the risotto into a bowl, then pile on rocket leaves, cracked pepper and grated Parmesan. Adds veg. Totally delish.
Whole family loved this dish, another great one @ John Watts, so quick easy and delicious.
