Risotto, chicken, homemade

Homemade chicken risotto is a cooked rice dish containing chicken. The figures here describe a prepared recipe, rather than the ingredients separately. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with protein and some fat. Per 100g, it contains 25g of carbohydrate, 8.9g of protein and 3.3g of fat. Its salt content is 0.89g per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. In homemade risotto, the amounts of salt and fat can vary with the ingredients and quantities used, so these figures may not match every recipe.
