Start the Risotto
Place another medium pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
Add rice, white portions of green onions, and remaining onion salt to hot pot. Stir occasionally until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.Add 1 cup boiling water from other pot to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir often until nearly all water is absorbed. -
Finish the Risotto
Add 1/2 cup boiling water from other pot and stir often again until nearly all water is absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.
Taste risotto as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more “bite” or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.Stir in peas until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.Remove from burner. Stir in butter and green portions of green onions. Cover and set aside. -
Cook the Chicken
