The word “creamy” may not be enough for this meal. That elevated velvety rice, risotto, is already luscious enough, but then we went and added in rich, delicious cheddar. And in case you're looking for something more than just “creamy,” roasted broccoli and shallot lend both a deep flavor and nice crunch to send this decadence over the top. Tip: Easier way to mince parsley? Gather them all in one hand and lay on the cutting board. Use your knife in rocking motion to cut, then turn 90 degrees and repeat until the herbs are properly minced!

Meatlovers! If using chicken breasts, pat dry and cut into 1" dice. Season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add chicken to hot pan and stir occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes. Add to risotto as desired.
