Make the chicken: Combine the chicken,
olive oil, lemon, rosemary and garlic in a self-sealing bag.
Refrigerate for 3 hours.
Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
Make the risotto: While the grill is
heating, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a large saucepan
over medium-high heat. Add the chopped leek, white onion, and
minced red onion. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until tender. Add
the rice and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until opaque. Add the
wine and cook, stirring continuously, for 2 to 3 minutes until
fully absorbed. Continue cooking, adding stock 1/2 cup at a
time and stirring frequently, for 15 to 20 minutes, until the
rice is al dente, or tender to the bite.
While the rice is cooking, season the chicken with salt and
pepper and place on the grill over direct heat. Cook for 5 to
6 minutes until lightly browned. Turn and set over indirect
heat. Cover and cook for 6 to 7 minutes, depending on size,
until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Heat a small sauté pan over medium heat. Add the remaining
2 tablespoons olive oil, diced leek and diced red onion. Cook
for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Be careful not to let the
onions brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add the Parmigiano and butter to the risotto and stir until
melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among
four plates. Arrange a chicken breast next to the risotto and
a place a spoonful of the leek mixture over the top of the
chicken. Serve immediately. Enjoy with Simi
