Chicken Risotto

This is another magazine clipping recipe that comes from the folks over at Sargento. I love that you can make an entire meal in one skillet and fairly quickly too!
Chicken Risotto

6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 lb. chicken breasts, boned, skinned and cut into thin strips
1 clove garlic, minced
1 ½ cups uncooked rice
¼ lb. mushrooms, sliced
3 green onions (tops optional), chopped
3 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup (4 oz.) Sargento Fancy Shredded Cheddar Cheese

In large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add chicken and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until pieces are browned, about 5 minutes.

Remove chicken from skillet. Add remaining butter, rice and garlic to skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and green onion. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth and basil. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer 15 minutes.
