6. Thai Chicken Risotto

Thai Chicken Risotto

Thai Chicken Risotto is a fusion dish, combining the classic Italian rice dish with Thai-style curries. And the more you think about it and taste it, the more sense it makes! Risotto, with its creaminess and tender rice, has much in common with curries (albeit without the spice and seasoning). So, adding in South Asian flavors like umami curry paste, creamy coconut milk, and salty fish sauce makes it an even more delectable dish. Thai Chicken Risotto of course features savory, juicy chicken, too, so you don't miss out on even a bit of flavor. This is a meal that truly feels like a fusion and will make you wonder what other amazing combinations are out there.
