    If you choose to fry the chicken on the stove rather than steam it in the Varoma, make sure you leave the cup off the lid so steam can escape while the rice cooks - otherwise you end up with a gloopy, gluey mess instead of risotto (which is what I did!!)

    The reason the chicken isn't cooking is because it should say Varoma in the recipe. The recipe needs to be edited in a couple of places.

    Love this dish, I cooked the chicken in the Veroma tray not the veroma bowl on the veroma setting & it turned out perfect after an extra 5 mins on top of the 17 mins, will probably start cooking the chicken from the Saute step next time tmrc_emoticons.8)

    Made this last night. Very nice but I didn't team the chicken. I pan dried chicken tendors.

    chicken didnt cook, other risottos i have made, i add the chicken into the recipe. However, i did on the stove top tonight and added some extra salt, pepper and garlic salt just to give it an extra hit. It did the trick.

    Lovely flavours but like the others my chicken was still raw after 17 mins, even with it being diced in tiny cubes. Will make this again using varoma temp and reverse speed. Huge meal with lots of leftovers too tmrc_emoticons.)

    I have just made this and decided after reading your comments about the chicken not cooking to set it at 17 minutes/varoma/reverse/speed 1 and it worked perfectly!

    Submitted by mooweeks on 14. May 2014 - 18:09.

    Absolutely beautiful! And all 4 kids loved it. Only problem was the chicken didn't cook in the 17 minutes(in small cubes) left it in for another 15 and it still wasn't done.. Ended up frying it off . Still a great meal tmrc_emoticons.)
