CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO | How to Make the BEST Chicken Risotto | Rižota ❤️

EPISODE 47: Chicken and Mushroom Risotto is one of those feel good meals. No matter where you live in the world there's a chicken and rice dish that brings us comfort! In Slovenian, this dish is called "Rižota". This recipe is my Mom's version and because of that it is so dear to my heart. The flavours always take me back to my childhood, and it's a meal that I often times request when visiting my parents.

This made me smile. My grandfather would cook this, except with rice pilaf and Canada Dry on the side. It really brought me back to a fond memory of him cooking for me. I’m gonna make this! Thanks for sharing.

@@SlovenianKitchenbyMichelle Hi Michelle! I tried that recipe for the first time the other day. I’m not a very good cook, so it didn’t turn out exactly like the video, but it was fun! And I’m definitely going to try again. Thanks again for the recipe!
