Savory Beet Risotto With Crispy Chicken

Believe it or not, I woke up with a 57-degree weather here in Miami. It is chilly, and I love it! Finally, I am wearing a cozy sweater and cute boots.

This comforting dinner is perfect for the chilly weather. Imagine a creamy savory beet risotto topped with goat cheese served with a fire-grilled crispy chicken thighs and microgreens.

The perfect texture contrast between crispy and smooth. And they’re super easy to make. You’ll see 😉

I love creating recipes that highlight seasonal ingredients in different and original ways. This risotto brings out the sweetness of the beets with the delicate taste of the goat cheese.

Here’s a tip: If you buy your beets already roasted and peeled, this meal will be ready in 30 minutes or less. So keep that in mind next time you go shopping.

Another tip? Head on over to the freezer section of your supermarket and pick up a few bags of Cooked Perfect® Fire Grilled Chicken, Classic Style Thighs. They’re perfectly seasoned with savory herbs and then grilled over an open fire to lock in the flavor.

As you can see, they’re crispy and cooked over an open fire to lock in natural juices. Browse recipes and save $1.50 off a bag with this awesome printable coupon. Find Fire Grilled Chicken near you.

I served this dish to my husband for lunch today and he had no idea that the chicken was previously frozen. In fact, he asked me if I finally learned how to turn on the grill by myself.

Let’s just keep that secret between us. He’ll never know 😉
