recipe reviews for:

Roasted Chicken with Risotto and Caramelized Onions

“Moist roasted chicken gets the royal treatment with caramelized onions, balsamic vinegar and creamy risotto. You may choose to roast your own chicken or purchase a rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. A little grated cheese such as Parmesan or Pecorino Romano before serving is also a nice touch.”

Really easy recipe and tastes delicious! First time making risotto and turned out great. I also added field mushrooms that I fried off in garlic and topped it with grated parmesan as well, yum!

Thought this was very good, although the kids thought a little less wine.

This was very good, but certainly takes longer than 45 minutes! Make sure you use a good balsamic to really maximize the flavor. The chicken needs to be seasoned or it will be very bland against the rice. We sauteed small cubes with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme and that went very well with the other flavors already in the dish. Rice definitely takes longer than 20 minutes to absorb- plan on a good 45 for a real slow-cooked risotto. We also added a couple of cloves of pressed garlic to the onion mixture and chopped the onions very small so as not to have too much crunch in the texture of the rice, but that's just a matter of preference. Overall, nice flavors- just takes a while!

After reading several of the reviews I changed a few things as well. I added Mushrooms and shrimp to the onion mixture. I also sauteed them in butter and Garlic instead of the oil. with the Rice it took a little longer than the 20mins. I also cut up chicken breast and cooked it with my own seasoning. I added the needed amount of butter to the risotto and the chicken to the onion mixture and then combined everything together. IT was so Good! all my kids and my Husband just loved it! this is one meal I will make often!

This was decent. I have never had risotto before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I did add mushrooms and a bit of garlic as other reviewers suggested. I also cooked two chicken breasts on my Foreman grill as another review suggested and I seasoned the chicken with garlic powder and seasoning salt. My husband and 3 year old did not care for it, but my 6 year old liked it. I would have to agree that the balsamic is a bit on the strong side and can definitely be reduced. The cooking time was also off as this did take about 45 minutes for the rice to absorb the fluid. I probably won't make this version again, but I am opening to trying different versions.

Wonderful recipe. I do suggest cutting the balsamic in half and adding sauted mushrooms and parmesean cheese (1/2 C) at the end. I have made this a half a dozen times and always get raves!

This was really good, but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe roasted tomatoes or zucchini? I'm still not sure. Regardless, I'm sure I'll make this again, minus the balsamic vinegar (I didn't think it really meshed with the rest of the recipe).

I'll give this 5 stars BUT I did only put 1 tablespoon of balsamic in. Any more would have been overkill. Took about 6 cups of the chicken broth and I added a little parmesan with the butter. Had a really nice flavor!
