Cindy Lynn's Tomato-Chicken Risotto
"This is my modified version of a recipe from my Rival's Crockpot Cooking cookbook. It is quick and easy to slap together and tastes very much like Spanish Rice with chicken rather than burger. It was a major hit with everyone in my family recently. I hope you enjoy it too!"

What an easy way to cook a risotto. Just delicious. Easy to prepare and all the ingredients were prepare the night before and just thrown n the crockpot before we left home. This isn't exaclty like the labour intense stove top risotto but it sure is very good. We have a salad with this and bread. I just love recipes like this that save time and money when you have been out all day or at work and are dog tired when you get home. BTW, the smell in the house was so YUM when we arrived home. A beauty Cindy. :-) Thank you. -
This is an easy and delicious dish. I was away all day today and the crockpot did the cooking. I adjusted the seasonings a bit and we all enjoyed a wonderful meal. Thanks for posting this.

I am currently a stay at home Mom and wife (aka: homemaker, domestic engineer, chauffeur, etc.). My husband and I made this choice about 2 1/2 years ago. At the time I was averaging 72 hours/week +. Our kids were complaining that they never saw me, and one of them was even getting in trouble (too little supervision apparently). We got the troubled teen through high school, and she is currently preparing for college. Things have improved a lot so I am considering going back to work part-time while the kids are gone to school (if the right opportunity presents itself).

<br>I love to cook, especially trying new recipes. I get tired of the same ol', same ol'. I also love reading cookbooks and the history of recipes. I always hated doing all the dishes afterwards, so I did a lot of one dish meals whenever possible. Recently, my husband bought me a new dishwasher, so now I am cooking up a storm! Everyone is loving it.

<br>I look forward to making new friends in Recipezaar, trying out new recipes, and hope some of you will try some of mine. Please, if you try my recipes, take time to post a little note telling me about your experience and any modifications you may have made. I just love to experiment and try new things in the kitchen! :-))
