This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had on hand and it turned out great.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less chili pepper.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the risotto was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the risotto was a little bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of chicken and added more spices to the risotto.
