Chicken and Rice Fiesta Platter

RECIPE BY: Diego Feijoo and Benjamin Bank | BCTS - Teterboro Campus

Risotto is a rice that is stirred continuously, cooking very slowly. We add stock in gradually to allow the risotto to absorb the liquid and release its starch, and become creamy. The process will take at least 30 minutes.
