Risotto with chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace white wine with extra broth or a splash of lemon juice for acidity. Avoid vinegar as it can be too strong.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of broth to restore creaminess.
Skip the chicken and use vegetable broth. Add mushrooms or tofu for extra protein and umami flavor.
Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a little broth or water, stirring frequently until warmed through.
Yes, freeze in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat with broth to refresh the texture.
Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, or Grana Padano are classic choices, but any hard, flavorful grated cheese will work.
Replace rice with cauliflower rice, but note the texture will be different. Cook cauliflower rice for less time to avoid mushiness.
Serve with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread for a balanced meal.
