Chicken and Bacon Risotto - RECIPE

[supercrazy24]

hi may i know beside using the cheat powdered stock,is there a simple recipe for it?

[nseagoon71]

Good, simple recipe man, well done. I like making risotto with a few sliced up asparagus spears and a handful of cashew nuts as well as the bacon and onion. Thumbs up!

[Gemmalouiselea]

I love this channel, thanks :) i subbed xx

[GloriaTham]

I was actually more amazed by his voice o.o

[skaviri]

when i have children, im going to make them these recipes! i love how theyre not expensive, hard or too time consuming!

[LushJunkie18]

Haha i like you so much! This was a fab racipe! Going to cook it for me and my boyfriend tomoro night! xx

[FinalTroop]

Why did you add a cup of water at the end? Why not add more stock instead?

I enjoyed this video, gave me some ideas on dishes I want to experiment with.

[OnePotChefShow]

@FinalTroop I added water to cut through the saltiness of the stock ;)

[dusted04]

@OnePotChefShow looks good mate making this tonight

[jakeed09090]

awesome my parents are away for the night so this is what ill make myself

[prac2]

how did you make the stock?

[OnePotChefShow]

@prac2 I just used powdered stock concentrate - I'm a cheat ;)

[Ednique]

May i know is it possible to use normal rice or is there a specific kind of rice to cook risotto? I'm from Singapore and rice is our staple food here.

[OnePotChefShow]

@Ednique You need to use Arborio Rice (aka Risotto Rice) to get the right consistency ;)

[freddiecel]

@Ednique It would be better if you'd use arborio rice for risotto because of the starch content that makes your risotto creamy in texture and also because of it's water absorbing properties.

[Ednique]

@freddiecel thanks for your reply :)

[madwithpower]

@Ednique you can get arborio rice at cold storage. not all outlets have them though.

[Ednique]

@madwithpower oh ok cold storage.. ok i'll look out for them thanks!



[KayokohMusic]

@Ednique they do sell them here. Arborio is slightly cheaper than Carnaroli and they are sold in green boxes of about 1 kilo. I've only used the Carnaroli so far, but it does swell up quite alot. 300g of rice can serve about 3 people fairly comfortably.

[Ednique]

@KayokohMusic thanks for your reply! i'll look for them :)

[laurenjadebrownxoxo]

this is a silly question but when you add the bacon did you have to cook ir first or did you just get it out of the freezer, let it defrost then put it in?

[OnePotChefShow]

@laurenjadebrownxoxo The bacon was raw, and cooked with the onion ;)

[ThorMaxx]

Its funny how risotto always kinda looks like lumpy oatmeal....I have made a italian Sausage Risotto which is pretty much the same as what you did here. It tastes great, but the presentation is just not there...

[GNH33]

you used turkey bacon good stuff aint it

[OnePotChefShow]

@GNH33 Actually, it was pig bacon ;)

[GNH33]

@OnePotChefShow the color looked like it but love your show used lots of recipes

[vidoodeum]

By the bye, when I reheat the leftovers from this dish, how can I get that creamy consistency back? Would stirring in a tablespoon (or some other amount) of water help?

[OnePotChefShow]

@vidoodeum Risotto is tricky to reheat, as it usually doesn't maintain the same consistancy the next day. Try heating it up with a little extra stock (1/2 a cup at most) mixed through for best results.

[vidoodeum]

I just made this, and discovered two things: first, it's absolutely delicious and I have dinner for at least a couple nights. And second, chopping onions is every bit the awful ordeal you've previously claimed it is.

[missbovered3000]

can't wait to try this. Think i'll cook it when i'm on my own to practice first :)

[KiriouSs]

you should watch ratatoule:P

[schmucksta]

cool thanks mate!

[XDani831X]

umm i love this recipe but how many people does it serve

[ABostonElite]

This was an awesome video!!

[whitmanjaywhitman]

Holy shit this dude has the most beautiful eyes ever - NO HOMO

[martyAD]

Hey david - just wondering if the last cup of water is necessary? it just looked like the risotto was a bit runny as it was - or does it cook down more?

Looks great and you make it seem really easy!

[countoeight]

ah, looked very tasteful, but too bad, i can't make it since my region says i can't eat any pig meat, or stuff like that, is there something else to put in it instead of bacon? please respond david :D

[OnePotChefShow]

You can leave the bacon out, and use some mixed vegetables instead ;)

[saskuewillbecomehoka]

@countoeight Sucks to be you, use beef or something..

[deathblad13]

@countoeight turkey bacon

[nickibaby64]

@countoeight

Heres an even better idea, use turkey bacon. It's just turkey in the form of bacon.

And personally i've found it to be MUCH MUCH tastier and you don't get all those chunks of fat that pig bacon has.

[drummingoose]

Love Love Love it so delicious - I actually added some baby spinach and it was great - thanks for the leason

[xdeathisrighttherex]

I loved your purring at 2:02 :)

sexy!

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Sounded nice dunno if the kids will like the look of the final product..

[gavinjayanand]

Sorry mate, but do you use chicken stock? Thanks a lot.

[OnePotChefShow]

Chicken Stock or Vegetable Stock, whichever you prefer.

[9aspengold5]

why does Risotto require such a long process of adding liquid bit by bit?? Would it not cook if most of the liquid was added at once?

[OnePotChefShow]

If you put all the liquid in at once, the arborio rice will not cook properly, and you won't get the "creamy" risotto consistency.

[9aspengold5]

thank you David. I just love your video's. Watch them over and over.

[ShelleyGirl51]

Hi David....that looks DELICIOUS!! I'v never cooked risotto, and I am Italian, lol but I'm gonna try your version....Thanks so much!!

[creamcandy25]

yummy! :) i think i`ll add some veggies to it when i`ll make this. tnx for this recipe David! :)

[DragonflyQQ]

o wait, do u have to wash the rice before mixing it with the chicken and bacon.?

[OnePotChefShow]

No, don't wash the rice. If you wash the rice, you'll lose all the starch that makes the risotto creamy and bind together ;)

[TangoSpiceCompany]

This looks very tasty indeed!

[OnePotChefShow]

Thanks - I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[TangoSpiceCompany]

I've only tried risotto only twice before, and both times it came out quite tasty, but of course yours adds chicken and the bacon. This is a must try!

[gleegirloz]

Well that looks yummo.The only thing I had against Risotto is that most times I've tried it.....well it's just too much of the same thing.Now I have to eat 6 small meals a day.....could I freeze some?

[OnePotChefShow]

You could freeze some, but I would recommend adding a small amount of stock to each container. It should help keep the risotto moister when defrosting and reheating :)

[ilikethewok]

Looks delicious!! Thx for posting.

[USShark]

Great stuff, looks delicious!!

[pokemonfan200]

chef where did you buy your pot at

[gaspard281]

Excellent recipe! I've actually made chicken and bacon risotto before. This recipe is also really good with shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes. mmmm

[OnePotChefShow]

Sounds delicious!

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Can you recommend a kick ass spud bake.. sick of normal...

[OnePotChefShow]

Have you been reading my mind??? I'm planning on doing a Potato Bake video in the next few weeks!

[purewic]

I adore you, love this little videos.

But this was not a finely shopped onion.

WATCHoutFORthis pointed out that usually you finish a risotto with butter and parmesan, but you had a little butter at the start in the pot and with the chicken in the risotto I would not add any.

I think this is a great recipe for people that have never been brave enough to try out risotto.

Cant wait for your next video.

Greetings from Germany

[OnePotChefShow]

Your right, it wasn't finely chopped onion - I should have said "roughly chopped" - ooops!!!

Glad you enjoyed the video ;)

[WATCHoutFORthis]

awesome vid david!

@ 1:35 you should add a bit of white wine and let it evaporate before adding the stock.

also, after the rice is cooked you should add a knob of butter and heaps of good parmigiano reggiano (or pecorino mmmm) off the heat.

cant wait for more. loved ur cookies too!

[OnePotChefShow]

Great tips - I didn't include these in the recipe as I wanted to present a simple, basic risotto - that way beginners can master it and then add extra bits :)

I love a bit of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top - devine!!

[lmdelsanto1]

I loved it...look forward to all your recipes..hugs from rhode island...

[OnePotChefShow]

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

[Hasharu]
