Variations Ideas:

Chicken – We used chicken breasts in this recipe, but you can also make it with chicken thighs.
Dry White Wine – Feel free to substitute the chicken broth for white wine or chicken stock.
Seasoning – Feel free to change the spices to what you prefer. You can add in paprika, fresh thyme, or red pepper flakes.
Veggies – You can also add in veggies towards the end of cooking time for added flavor. Slice mushrooms, chopped broccoli and asparagus are always a great addition.

Step by Step Instructions:

Recipe Tips:

Diced Chicken – Dice chicken in about the same size so that it cooks evenly.
Adding in Chicken Broth – Wait until each addition of the chicken broth is almost fully absorbed before adding the next ladleful.
Cooking Rice – Cook the rice until it is al dente or according to package.
Use the right rice – When making this risotto, make sure to use Arborio rice. This recipe will not work for Jasmine or Basmati rice or any long-grain rice. The starch content is not high enough to create this creamy texture.

Serving Suggestions:

This recipe is a complete meal idea. But we do like to make sure we serve with a side of roasted vegetables such as roasted asparagus or zucchini. Make sure to also serve with a side of homemade garlic bread to make sure to every last drop.
