Wine Advice:
Pair this creamy risotto with a crisp, acidic white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio to balance the richness of the dish. Alternatively, a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir can complement the chicken and vegetables nicely without overpowering the flavors.Nutritional Information
