Note
Tips:
For best results, verify chicken breasts are even thickness by pounding them if necessary.
The risotto should be al dente but creamy - if too thick, stir in additional hot stock.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the flavours to meld and the risotto to reach ideal consistency.
Garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh basil if desired.
