I’m on a chicken recipe spree! At least until I run out of chicken breasts, anyway. This recipe from Emeril Lagasse looked pretty good, with the added bonus of the side dish calling for the truffle oil that rounded out a recent online order I placed a while back and was looking for a place to use.
I didn’t have the proper arborio rice so I used the jasmine variety that I do keep on hand and has worked for me before. Instead of Parmesan I used fresh grated pecorino. The mushrooms were the usual supermarket white buttons, nothing fancy. I think I can take or leave the truffle oil, it not adding any particular enjoyment for me but I’ll wait a while and try it elsewhere before I make up my mind.
The goat cheese filling worked very well, every time I made a cut a little more oozed out and was quickly mopped up. I used a lot more garlic than the recipe wanted.
