- 2 tsp salt divided
- 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions
- Place heavy soup pot on stove and turn to medium heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once butter is melted, add grated carrots, diced onion, minced garlic and 1 tsp salt. Sautee until tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken to pot. Sprinkle with 1 tsp salt and 1⁄2 tsp pepper. Stir occasionally so that chicken browns on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Turn heat to high and add 1 cup white wine. Cook until most of the wine has evaporated stirring occasionally.
- Add hot chicken broth. Stir in rice. Bring to a boil, cover pot and reduce heat to low until the rice is fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes)
- Turn off heat. Add chopped parsley and 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese. Keep covered to remain warm if you are not serving right away.
