    Unpleasant texture. Although the risotto was flavor some the texture was like a purée with the chicken no longer in pieces but entirely shredded (reverse blade was used). The method needs tweaking before I would use again unfortunately.

    Admittingly, there is a lot of flavour. However, the texture was like baby food. Very mushy. The chicken was basically reduced to shred, almost non existent. I ended up having to add some corn at thermo saver stage to add a different texture.

    I made this the other night and it came out looking like a gloopy porridge mess :\ not my favourite experience with Risotto as many of the other recipes have turned out great.

    Tasted better the next day than it did the night I made it, probably wouldn't make it again from this recipe though, sorry.

    Really really yummy! Kids even went back for seconds. I used approx 500g of thigh and 4 slices of bacon. I also used chicken broth I had in the freezer instead of the water and stock paste. Delicious!

    Easier and quicker to cook than ordering takeaway! Minimal effort for maximum flavour. I keep a chicken fillet and bacon in the freezer and silverbeet in garden so I can make this for a last minute dinner. I halve the amount of stock

    Submitted by renee3666 on 13. June 2015 - 12:51.

    Easy to make.. made it for lunch today, i cut back on the stock as everyone else suggested , but maybe i did too much as i used stock powder not concentrate, i found it tasty, but too gluggy, would love to know how to make it without the porridge texture, in the pan on the stove mine doesnt go gluggy like that..

    Submitted by PennyM on 12. March 2015 - 00:11.

    Hi Cocorilla tmrc_emoticons.) How much salt do you use in your veggie stock paste? I use approx 80g so if you're using the full 150g that would be why your's tasted so salty! Hope you still enjoyed the dish tmrc_emoticons.)
