Indulge in a delightful combination of creamy Arborio rice, tender chicken, earthy mushrooms, sweet green peas, and savory Parmesan cheese in this luxurious risotto dish.

Ingredients

1 ½	Arborio Rice
32	ounces Chicken Broth (do not buy low sodium)
4	tablespoons Unsalted Butter
⅓	cup Grated Parmesan
1 ½	Frozen Green Peas
1	pound Thinly Sliced Chicken Breasts
½	Sweet Onion (such as Vidalia)
10	White Button Mushrooms
1	cup Dry White Wine, such as Vermouth

Instructions

1.	Begin by meticulously washing the mushrooms, then delicately slicing them into 1/4 inch slices. Proceed to finely chop the sweet onion.
2.	In a large stock pot set over a medium flame, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the prepared mushrooms and onion.
3.	While the mushrooms and onion are cooking, skillfully slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
4.	Cook the mushrooms until they are lightly browned, and the onion is translucent and caramelized. Once finished, remove them from the pot, ensuring to leave the flavorful liquid behind.
5.	Introduce the chicken into the pot along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly done, then remove it from the pot, leaving the delectable liquid behind.
6.	Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pot along with the Arborio rice. Stir diligently to prevent sticking. If the rice begins to adhere, pour in 1 cup of chicken broth.
7.	Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from adhering to the bottom of the pan.
8.	As the liquid is almost fully absorbed, add another cup of chicken broth. Repeat this step until all the broth is utilized, approximately 25 minutes.
9.	Reintroduce the peas, chicken, mushrooms, and onion back into the rice, carefully stirring until they are uniformly heated.
10.	Finally, add the grated Parmesan, and blend it in thoroughly to evenly distribute the rich flavor.
11.	Serve promptly and savor the luxurious flavors of this creamy chicken and mushroom risotto topped with green peas.
