Here is the risotto recipe. FYI, I followed it to a T and it made 4 small side servings. It was really good and I would make it again.

Here is the chicken. It was good, but I thought the risotto was better.

Re: **SummerSun**
I was wondering about that recipe, too! Sounds delicious. I LOVE risotto. I made one a couple weeks ago that I added herbed goat cheese, roasted asparagus, and chopped fresh watercress to, and it was absolutely divine.

They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
Uhhh...I made it up as I went along. I rarely use a recipe for risotto. But this is a close approximation:
1 bunch of asparagus, tough ends removed and chopped into ~1"pieces
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 c. arborio rice
Hefty splash (1/2 c.?) dry white wine
~6 c. vegetable stock
4-6 oz herbed goat cheese (one of the little packages, whatever size they are)
1 bunch of watercress, finely chopped
Toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper to tast. Roast at 425* F until the ends are starting to turn brown and crispy (15-20 min). Set aside.
Sautee onion over medium heat until translucent, about 5 min. Add garlic and sautee for another minute. Add rice and satuee for 2 minutes. Pour in a hefty splash of dry white wine, and cook until the liquid is almost all absorbed. Add the stock 1 ladleful at a time, stirring until each is completely absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is cooked to your liking. Remove from heat and stir in the goat cheese until it is nice and melty. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Stir in the watercress and asparagus. Enjoy!
