Chicken Risotto

In our house, rice and pasta are a staple! It is what keeps us full and satisfied (and provides leftovers). So because of that, I am always looking for new recipes to try that involve these ingredients. That’s where Pinterest becomes helpful because let’s be honest, that’s where all the good meals come from. At least in my experience.

When I saw this meal, I knew I had to convince my husband to add it to our Whisk app. The only reason I had to convince him is because he saw the list of directions and since it listed more than one pan/pot to use, he was skeptical. Most of our meals can be made in one pot or pan so I can understand his hesitation.

But let me tell you, this meal was worth the hassle! Especially if risotto is not part of your usual line up of meals. It was a very flavorful and had a great texture. So if you are thinking about mixing up your usual set of meals, I would try adding this recipe into your lineup.
