Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs? Yes, absolutely! I prefer to use chicken thighs as they stay tender when cooked, but chicken breasts can be used instead.
Can I omit the mushrooms? If you don't like mushrooms, there's no need to put them into the risotto. Simply omit them from the recipe.
Resting The Risotto - It's important to allow the risotto to rest for 10 minutes before serving. After cooking, the risotto will be quite liquidy. The risotto will thicken when resting. A ThermoServer is the perfect thing for resting your risotto and allowing it to thicken. You can use the Thermomix branded ThermoServer or any brand of insulated stainless steel container.
Storing - Store leftover risotto in the fridge for up to 1-2 days. Reheat throughly before consuming.
Freezing - Freeze any leftover risotto in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
