      This recipe sounds really delish! Can’t wait to try it! I’ll have to wait for a sale on chicken breast though! We don’t have any in the freezer!

      this sounds great, but I think a risotto purist like me would be disappointed if that’s what I was expecting. Does it actually have the texture of risotto?

      Risotto is cooked very differently than regular rice. I would rename this (delicous, I’m sure) recipe Garlic Chicken & Rice.

      Part of frugal eating is enjoying the versatility and tastiness of staple ingredients. Not trying to pass them off as their fancier cousins.

      To me, this recipe is like calling a recipe ‘Baked Brie’ and then listing cream cheese as the main ingredient.

      Just my $.02. You can have a refund if you don’t want it 🙂

      Couldn’t agree more about the Risotto… Being married to an italian.. calling rice risotto won’t fly! It looks delish, however.. I would just call it Garlic Chicken Rice…
