Heat a medium-sized deep skillet over medium heat, then pour in the olive oil and butter, wait a few seconds until it melts and then add the onion and garlic, cooking for 3 minutes to sauté. Add the arborio rice, ideal for risotto, and continue to sauté. Stir every 20 seconds or so, but give it time between each stir, as stirring continuously risks not achieving the right texture. Add the white wine and season with salt and pepper. Let it evaporate almost completely, as the preparation should remain moist. Add a ladle of boiling chicken broth and stir the rice until it is almost completely absorbed, then add another ladle of broth and repeat the process. Do this while stirring continuously until you see the grain almost cooked (al dente). When the risotto is at this point, add more butter, the parmesan cheese, and Bionda® Ricotta. Stir gently to mix a bit. Serve the Alfredo risotto immediately, add the grilled chicken breasts, garnish with basil, and enjoy hot.
