Risotto chicken

Chicken risotto, typically made with chicken stock, white wine, shallots, butter, and Parmesan, often with the addition of roasted or poached chicken stirred through at the end. The flavour is gentler than mushroom risotto; the chicken adds savoury depth without the porcini umami intensity, the butter and Parmesan add fat, and the overall register is creamy, savoury, and mild. The wine needs enough body to carry the richness without overwhelming the gentle chicken character, and enough acidity to cut the fat.
