How to make Instant Pot Risotto Chicken
Risotto is an Italian rice dish cooked with broth until it reaches a creamy consistency. The broth can be from meat, fish, or vegetables. Risotto is one of the most common ways of eating rice in Italy. Risotto is usually served as a first course before the main course.
