What does everyone think of Chicken and pineapple with the Chinese Flavor!

i use the boxed ones all the time, like the flavours in the roast beef one, but i do add extras, 2 min noodles in the last few minutes of cooking as well as heaps of stir fry vege, cubed pumpkin is also nice in it. and nah they are nothing like a rissotto really more like a fried rice. As for the proper rice just look in your rice section in the supermarket, arborio i think is the one used for proper rissotto.

Why not, if that's what you like, tarshlove. I haven't used those boxed risottos for years but you can put in anything you like basically, and bulk them up with lots of veges.

I add left over roast chicken and any roast veges cut up to the 'rissotto'.

Add cooked pork or cook some pork bits first, a little vinegar, a bit of apple or a small can of crushed pineapple. Taste it and if necessary a very small amount of brown or raw sugar. Family favourite.

Fine to use a packet if it helps a tired parent make time to sit down and read a child a story.I sometimes wonder if some anti-packet people are childless, or child-free.
