For the Mushroom Risotto:

3 cups chicken broth, warmed
1 tbsp unsalted butter 杻
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup white onion, finely chopped 暈
2 cloves garlic, minced 龍
1/2 cup dry white wine optional
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 燎
Salt and pepper, to taste 蓼
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions
1 Prepare the Chicken: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2 Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden.
3 Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to rest for a few minutes.
4 Cook the Mushroom Risotto: In a large pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
5 Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is lightly toasted.
6 Pour in white wine if using and let it simmer until mostly absorbed. Gradually add the warmed chicken broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring continuously and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next.
7 In a separate pan, sauté mushrooms with a bit of olive oil until browned, then add them to the risotto.
8 Once the rice is tender and creamy about 18-20 minutes, stir in Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper.
9 Serve: Slice the chicken and serve on top of or alongside the mushroom risotto. Garnish with fresh parsley.
