Fantastic recipe. Been a staple at our house since I discovered it! I grill the chicken and also add about 8-10oz of sliced fresh crimini mushrooms to the rice right after the wine is fully absorbed. Gives the dish a more earthy taste and makes it a little more hearty. One flaw I've found with the recipe is that I have no idea how they get 2-1/2 cups of rice cooked uncovered with only 4 cups of chicken broth. I heat 4 cups of broth with 4 cups of water and a few chicken bullion cubes. Just finished a batch and we're sitting down right now!

Excellent and with a few additional ingredients it comes out even better. When I sautéed the onions, I added some ground coriander and red pepper flakes. With the stock, I added about 4 crushed garlic cloves and the required springs of thyme. And after the rice was cooked, I added 3/4 cup heavy cream and added both the Parmesan and fontina cheese and turned off the heat. I didn't use any wine, just chicken stock, and then added some shredded baked chicken to the pot. It makes a great one pot meal.

Love this recipe! I made it as a side dish to roasted chicken and couldn't wait to eat the leftovers the next day. My husband is not a fan of risotto and he loved this dish.

Deeelish! I threw a Northern Italian dinner party and this was the star. I marinated and baked my chicken breasts instead of using deli meat. And I sauteed a variety of earthy mushrooms with the onions. Guests could not get enough....clean plates all around!

Makes a good amount of risotto, but it doesn't matter. The leftovers are just as good. And this dish is REALLY good. I, however, leave out the chicken every time. The chicken just isn't as good as the rice. That's how good the rice is. You don't need the chicken. You have to stir it for about a half hour, but it is worth it.

This recipe was really easy to make and very delicious, however, it makes a LOT of risotto. Based on the serving suggestion of 4 I doubled this recipe to make for a pot luck at work. Was WAY too much food. I also substituted baked chicken that I made at home (used breast and thighs from the whole baked chicken for the deli chicken.

Absolutely delicious! I roasted my own chicken breasts and added some peas. I think sauteed asparagus would be great in it as well! This recipe is a keeper!

Loved it! Creamy texture and complex flavors. AND it was so simple and easy to make. I roasted a chicken last night and, with just the two of us now, am always looking for recipes that call for cooked chicken. I threw in some frozen peas at the very end to give it color and add a veggie serving for a complete dinner. This is a keeper!

Oh my heavens. How delicious this is!! I followed the recipe to a T, except I also grilled some chicken instead of using deli smoked chicken breast. I marinated that chicken in a roasted red pepper, Parmesan Italian dressing and grilled it on the George Foreman grill. It was suoper flavorful and was fantastic with the risotto. Also, to add a little green, I steamed some broccoli florets and added them to the risotto as well. I served the risotto with some roasted asparagus and fresh bread. This was so creamy and cheesy and delicious! The best risotto I have ever made! No one should be fearful of making risotto...as long as you have the time, it really isn't hard to make. This one will definitely be a keeper in my household. Thanks food network!

Sinfully delish! First of all, I used REAL chicken breasts (sautee chicken tenders wtih garlic, olive oil and herbs de provence and cut into bite size pieces. Followed the recipe to a T otherwise. My husband and I were oohing and ahhhing! SO GOOD!
