Risotto is an emblematic dish of Italian cuisine that has won over palates all over the world. Although its origin dates back to northern Italy, mainly in the Lombardy and Piedmont regions, this dish has been adopted and adapted in various Latin American countries, where it is known by similar or translated names depending on the region. In Mexico, for example, it is commonly called "risotto", while in countries like Argentina or Chile its original name is also maintained, although with variations in local ingredients. Traditional risotto is characterized by its creamy texture and is prepared with Arborio rice, but versions with chicken and mushrooms are very popular for their combination of mild and nutritious flavors.
This recipe combines rice with pieces of chicken and mushrooms in a creamy base of soup and broth, offering a balanced and comforting dish ideal for any occasion. The use of ingredients such as carrots, onions, and peas adds color and texture, making this risotto a delicious and accessible option for Latin American families.
