Chicken and Cheese Risotto With Caramelized Apricot Topping image

A lovely different risotto with a twist. Use GOOD quality broth since that is what makes the chicken flavor, or poach your own chicken and add it to the rice as well.

This risotto was a bit disappointing. The chicken was dry and the cheese was not very flavorful. The caramelized apricots were the best part of the dish.

I thought this dish was good, but not great. The risotto was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. The caramelized apricots were a nice touch, but they couldn't save the dish.
