Ingredients
-
7 Tbsp Sicilian Lemon Olive Oil, divided

3 Tbsp Meyer Lemon Balsamic Vinegar

1 Tbsp Mediterranean Rub
- 1 tsp Rosemary Sea Salt

-
2 cups Asiago Lemon Spinach Risotto

Directions
- In a large bowl or Ziploc bag mix together chicken thighs, 3 Tbsp olive oil, vinegar, rub, and salt. Let marinade for at least 30 minutes, while you start the risotto.

- Add 1 cup stock at a time and stir until liquid is absorbed before adding another cup.
- Once you add your last cup of stock, turn heat to medium-low and cover the pan, simmering until chicken is cooked through about 20 mins being careful not to burn risotto in the bottom of the pan. Stir in chopped spinach.

Recipe Note
Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot Instructions:
Set machine to Sauté and add the olive oil. Add risotto mix and stir to coat with olive oil. Cook 1-2 minutes until slightly toasted. Add wine and stir until fully evaporated (cooked-off).Add stock and reset machine. Close lid and set pressure to High for 7 minutes. A natural release is better however a quick release still works well.
(Takes about 20 minutes total). Finish with grated parmesan cheese. Allow to rest at least 10 minutes before serving. The flavors intensify as it cools.
