Chicken Tarragon Risotto
Fresh Fruit

Cooking time:  30 minutes for menu       Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

           I often hear comments about risotto being difficult - it's not; and high in calories - it doesn't have to be.  I remember watching a chef in the US finishing off a lovely risotto with 3 tbs of butter to make it creamy.  Absolutely not necessary.  No extra butter required to make it creamy and unctuous! And you don't have to stir constantly - just often.

Chicken Tarragon Risotto

Total time: 30 minutes
  Tarragon is a classic pairing with chicken.  A bit of carrot, leek and celery / celeriac make this a complete dinner, with just a hint  of spring-time flavors.
