Breaded Chicken Breast & Risotto

Quick Dinner:  4 Chicken breast, boned
                       1 cup Italian bread crumbs
                       Salt & Pepper
                       Olive Oil
                        4-6 garlic cloves peeled whole
Wash chicken breast, salt & pepper them, coat in bread crumbs. Cook on med. low heat in olive oil, add garlic cloves whole, once brown and juices start to come to surface, turn and continue cooking. I like to cook mine with a wire spatter guard over pan, it lets the steam rise away, and the chicken comes out crunchy and delicious.
                      Risotto
                      1 cup of arborio rice
                      1/4 cup chopped onion
                      1 clove of garlic minced
                      2 -2 1/2 cups of chicken broth
                      4Tblsp olive oil
                      2 Tblsp butter
Brown garlic and onion, add rice to slightly brown also. add chicken broth and 2 Tblsp. of butter. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to the lowest it will go,cover,  let simmer for 30-40 min. Check to see if you need to add a little more chicken broth, and stir, cover and let contiur to cook till rice is done, should be creamey....
Enjoy, add a sald, and it's dinner time.. Manja!!!
