Ingredients
Scale
- 4 pheasant breasts (about 1 lb)
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 lb fresh asparagus
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375?F (190?C). Season pheasant breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pheasant on both sides until golden brown (about 3 minutes each side). Transfer to a baking dish, pour in some chicken broth, and roast for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165?F (74?C).
- In a separate pot, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and Arborio rice; toast for about two minutes while stirring. Gradually add warmed chicken broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed (18-20 minutes).
- While risotto cooks, toss asparagus in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for about five minutes until tender.
- Once risotto is creamy, stir in Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve the roasted pheasant alongside risotto and grilled asparagus on plates drizzled with pan juices.
