Creamy Chicken Quinoa Risotto

Italian classic, Peruvian style. One of Peru’s most famous culinary exports, quinoa, takes the place of traditional short-grain arborio rice in Chef Walther’s creamy risotto, adding nutty flavor and a more favorable protein-to-carb ratio (in case you’re counting). He starts with a sauté of aromatic onion, carrot, and celery, then simmers the quinoa grains in a rich chicken broth infused with the heat of traditional Peruvian aji Amarillo chiles and umami-rich Parmesan. Into the mix goes shredded roasted chicken breast and another Peruvian cuisine must-have—roasted fingerling potatoes. The crowning touch: briny Kalamata olives, hard-cooked egg, and sweet red bell pepper. Getting 83% (!) of your daily protein never tasted so good.
