For an extra layer of flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. Ensure the Arborio rice is evenly toasted during the sautéing process to enhance its nutty flavor. Adjust the amount of chicken broth to achieve your desired risotto consistency. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh thyme before serving for an elegant presentation.
