This is a gorgeous meal that can be made with chicken or turkey!  You get to choose.  What I did was add mushroom and brown rice risotto, caramelized onions, and a simple side salad.  It is elegant, delicious and very easy to make with some planning.  Seriously, the hardest part was waiting for the risotto.  Since we are committed to whole grains, we are committed to utilizing brown rice and the short grain variety makes a perfect risotto ~ the only thing you need to know if you choose to go with this one is that it takes much longer than you think and probably want to soften, be patient!!  It will be well worth the effort and time.
