This is one of my first risottos I've made and it turned out delicious. I chose this for the Risotto Challenge in Zaar World Tour 4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers. This really was simple to make and the flavors are just wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful! I have always been intimidated by risotto but this recipe made it sound approachable. DH and golfing buddies scarfed it up in no time flat. Will definitely make again! Next time I may leave out the lemon and add more garlic. Made for the Risotto Challenge ZWT 4.

I made this for dinner for the risotto challenge in ZWT. Myself and my family loved this dish!!! I didn't have regular breadcrumbs, so I substituted panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), other than that made as directed. I liked that is was all cooked in one pan and made for easier clean-up. Thanks Charmie for a great recipe.

This is a wonderful risotto. The directions were great in regards to getting the rice the right consistancy...my last risotto came out a tad crunchy. I skipped the wine and just added more chicken broth and used homemade breadcrumbs (pulverized hard french bread). I also found that I only needed about half of the chicken, but I had already fried it all up, so I'm going to use it in another recipe that calls for cooked diced chicken. I loved the lemony flavor...definitely use real lemons and add it to the simmering chicken broth!

We loved this. Like other reviewers I thought the lemon juice added such flavor!

I LOVE this dish! So creamy and delicious... The only changes I made was to bread the chicken in cornmeal & parmesan (due to BF's dietary restrictions) and add the garlic right before the rice (so it wouldn't burn). Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

This was my first time making risotto and it came out amazing. It came out perfect. We will definately be making this again.

wonderful mix of flavors. I used lime juice instead of lemon as this was all I had in the house. I will definitely make again.

WOW--what a wonderful main dish risotto. We make risotto often, and the lemon in the broth is such a wonderful addition and the reggiano on the chicken scampi brings everything together. We followed the recipe as is and will add more garlic the next time. Thanks for posting.

This was a really nice, very creamy, flavorful risotto dish. I found it easy to make. I thought the flavor of the lemons (having had been heated with the broth) really came through nicely without overpowering the dish. I would make this again. Thanks for posting.
