Chicken Risotto: An Italian classic with a chicken twist

Risotto is undoubtedly one of the most famous dishes of Italian cuisine, which has gained popularity all over the world. Dry, creamy rice, perfectly matching the variety of ingredients, is a dish that has its permanent place in the menu of gourmets. Chicken risotto is one of the many variations of this dish, where the tenderness of the meat pairs perfectly with the creamy risotto for an incredibly satisfying meal. The key to making the perfect risotto is patience and the right choice of ingredients. It all starts with rice - special risotto rice like arborio , carnaroli or vialone is the best nano , which has the ability to absorb a large amount of liquid while maintaining its structure. Well-cooked rice should be creamy on the outside, but still slightly al dente on the inside . In the case of chicken risotto, the meat adds not only protein but also extra flavor. Depending on your preference, the chicken can be fried until golden brown or steamed to retain as much nutritional value as possible.
