Risotto with Chicken and Carmelized Onions

Why I Love This Recipe

This is from Williams-Sonoma

Onions are naturally high in sugar. Some varieties, such as California Red, Maui, Vidalia and Walla Walla, taste especially sweet even when raw. When these or other onions are cooked to a golden brown, their natural sugars melt and start to caramelize, giving them a delicious flavor with no trace of acidity.
