Baked Risotto with Portobello Mushrooms
The credit for the photo to the left goes to Better Homes and Gardens, this recipe is out of their Skinny One-Pan Recipes magazine from 2016. All other photos were taken by me.
This recipe is incredibly easy and delicious! I’ve made it a few times and the only tweak I make is that I add more chicken because I prefer more protein in my Risotto.
TIP: Use a Fresh Roasted Chicken from the grocery store and save time. I prefer the “no salt added” chicken if available.
