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.”

This was an fantastic dish! I used 1 large onion, and instead of removing them from the heat right away, I let the balsalmic (1 tbsp) reduce for a couple minutes before removing it. I used about a half of a rotisserie chicken, and served it with a salad and galic toast- delicious!

The flavor of the balsamic vinegar was nice. I didn't add chicken to the dish because I used the risotto as a side. It's best eaten immediately.

The onions and balsamic vinegar were the best part of this dish. It was a delicious idea. However, the cooking time for the risotto is off. It took more like 35-40 mins to make the right texture. I'm not sure why it's called roasted chicken in the title, when there's no instruction on how to make the chicken. I ended up using a George Forman grill, while seasoning the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. As a note, it makes far more than 4 servings, unless you're eating far more than you should. As most leftovers, it wasn't very good the next day. So I'd say eat it when you make it.

Too salty! Use reduced sodium chicken broth, do not add extra salt at the end and use ONLY 1 T. balsamic vinegar (cannot stress that enough). Definitely use 2 onions and 2 t. minced garlic. Fresh thyme at the end made it taste heaps better.

So good! Recipe definitely took longer than the suggested 20 min to make the risotto but it was worth it. I used a huge vidalia onion and 1 tbsp of balsamic vinegar, which made for an amazing flavor. I'm going to add asparagus next time.

Great recipe! You definately need patience and constant attention to cooking the risotto. I added gorgonzola and mushrooms as well. The second time I made it, I switched out the chicken with shrimp and crab. Sooo good!

I just don't get it! Most of the time I agree with the ratings. This recipe just didn't do it for me or my family. As much as I love all the individual ingredients it just tasted funky. I followed the recipe exactly and we ate it but just because we didn't want to waste it.

This was a good, easy recipe, although it definitely took longer than 20 minutes, but overall I had it ready less than an hour after I started cooking (I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken.) I definitely recommend using 2 onions, and adding mushrooms - I added 8 oz. of baby bellas, and reducing the balsamic vinegar. I used 1 T, I think 2 T would have worked better. I also used white grape juice instead of wine, since we are a no-alcohol family, and probably only about 6 cups of chicken broth. I think sundried tomatoes, or a good tangy salad, would have worked well with this. Thanks!

My first risotto! So yummy:) Love the balsamic flavor and how easy it is to make! I used only 6 cups of broth and it turned out perfect, it did take a while for it to cook though, longer than 20 minutes. Thanks for a wonderful recipe, and for those that have no idea what to do with the rest of the rotisserie chicken...use it in another dish. I have mine chopped and ready for enchiladas later this week!
