More Maggi Meals
by mom93821Combined rating
I happily purchased a wide range of Maggi products after reading the reviews by the wonderful Mom’s community members on these products. I decided to test out many of the recipes on the always hungry family. Maggi has now become a favourite in our household. The request now is for “More Maggi Meals Please”.
Has been repeated in our house already!

I loved both the Maggi one pan risottos. So easy to use as you can add the liquid & then do other things while it cooks itself. It tastes great without having to stand over the pan for the entire cooking process. We have repeated this recipe multiple times in our house already.
RESTAURANT STYLE RISOTTO
by stephratCombined rating
I love risotto but I never cooked it at home simply because I have never had the confidence to cook it. When the Maggi One Pan Risotto Recipe Base arrived on my doorstep, I was excited to try it out. With the recipe base, I just could not believe that it was that easy to cook a risotto right there in my own kitchen! The risotto was moist and creamy with full flavour. My family is not keen on risottos but even they found it tasty. I must confess though that I didn't use leek but used baby peas and spinach instead. With this experience, I will now make sure that my pantry will have at least 1 pack of the risotto recipe base at any time.
Easy to use whole family enjoyed :)
by AnnaCombined rating
Very easy to use taste really nice the whole family enjoyed including my daughter which doesn't surprise me as she loves everything we eat she eats not a fussy eater as some kids are. Will def recommend this product & buy from now on much better to use found it really easy to follow. Thank you :)
Easy Weekday meal
by mishkaCombined rating
I always thought risotto was a complicated dish! Maggi made it simple. Great ingredients my kids came back for more, a dish the whole family enjoyed. Great that it is made in the one pot so not so much washing up! Will definitely have this again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks for letting me trial Maggi Risotto
Easy and quick
by mom65378Combined rating
as a non mushroom eating family we changed them for carrots and that worked out fine. easy to follow the instructions and very quick compared to usual risotto recipes.we will be using this product again. certainly very handy to have in the cupboard for grabbing quickly and no need to run to the shops for exotic ingredients.
Fantastic & easy
by mom66352Combined rating
Another fantastic product that was easy for the children to help with, we used prawns instead of chicken and the children loved making it as we'll as eating it. They also made a crunchy salad to go with it which made it a healthy meal for the whole family, will definitely have it again.
loved.

My family loved this dish. My fussy toddler even enjoyed it. So simple and tasty.
Chicken Risotto with Spinach and Pumpkin
by smitzerCombined rating
We actually received the Chicken Risotto with Spinach and Pumpkin. We all loved it, this is now a staple in our shopping and cooking, easy to use and oh so delicious. I actually had no pumpkin but used sweet potato instead and was still delicious
Delicious!!!
by della247Combined rating
By far the best product maggi has has ever created! I will be buying this every week! My husband loves it too as do the little ones! I precooked the rice to half way before adding it to the rest of the mixture, it knocked off half of the cooking time and it was still lovely and moist without being too dried out or there being any risk of uncooked rice which I have a problem with usually when I make risotto.
Tasty Risotto One-Pot Wonder
by trish01Combined rating
What a great tasty Risotto, all cooked in the one pan. Loved the rich flavours of the Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley & Pepper which really complimented the Chicken, Leek, Mushroom & Spinach in the risotto. The addition of the cream gave the risotto a rich and creamy texture which the whole family loved. I also liked that there was no added MSG, artifical colours or flavours. Very happy with the serving size - 4 per pack. Great product, thanks Maggie
Loved it!!
by mom64560Combined rating
Quick and easy to make, and the taste was simply amazing! It was full of flavor and so yummy, I went for seconds. The younger and more picky kiddies were not really fussed on trying it, but my 10 year old loved it!! I have never made a risotto or even tried one, so for a first timer I was impressed. Will most definitely be cooking this again.
DELIOUS!!
by sarbunnyCombined rating
yum yum yum. I love this risotto base. Definately something I will adding to my grocery list from now on. The kids loved it, my nephew loved it (he doesn't usually like anything rice). I actually enjoyed making it and it was so easy. The end result was delicious.
My girlfriend loved it!
by wendy_adhoferCombined rating
I don't like risotto so I have it to a girlfriend to try! And she has mentioned that she will be going back for more ! A creation that is great for the whole family; well done Maggie you have done it again!!
Very Moreish!
by angieg2Combined rating
This was such a fast meal with a delicate flavour and it is definitely a winner in my home. It has a nice texture and the fragrance of the dish was delightful.
First time cooking risotto - nailed it with this base!
by taraleecupcakeCombined rating
I have never made risotto before as I assumed it was a pain to get right, well I was proved wrong tonight with this meal base! Super easy instructions to follow and only half an hour to make. During cooking, my daughter called out 'Dinner smells yummy Mummy!' and once it was ready, she demolished it and my fiancé went back for seconds! We all really enjoyed it and I can safely say that I will be grabbing this meal base again in the near future.
Fantastic and easy
by EponasprideCombined rating
I made this tonight. It is a busy night for us as the kids all have swimming, so I needed something quick and healthy. I can honestly say this was perfect. I actually made it in my pressure cooker so I reduced the water to 600mls, and it came out perfect. All three of my kids (11,8 and 2) loved it and the toddler had 3 bowls. I loved the flavor, not overpowering and it was the perfect blend of flavors. I will definitely be buying this in the future. The kids have requested I make it part of my normal meal planning. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to try this great product.

We love risotto, and the flavour combination was perfect. We enjoyed trying this new product, and will certainly look out for it again in the supermarket. I am sure that we can substitute some of the ingredients to make it even more delicious, maybe some snow peas or even carrot. Will definitely look out for other flavour combinations too.
Yummy and very quick to make

My entire family loved this dish we have already bought it 3 more times from the store even my 9 year old cleaned his plate. ;)
So Easy & Delicious
by aprilmareeallenCombined rating
this was my first time cooking risotto, I have always avoided ever attempting to cook it as Ive always presumed it would be quite difficult. however I followed the instructions to the T and it took no longer than half hour including prep to have this ready and served on the table. It was the first time my husband (33yrs) and my son (15months) had ever tried risotto and it went down really well. The flavours where extremely tasty, I will definitely be adding this to dinner meal options. Yum!!
Risotto Fear Abolished!!
by mom58074Combined rating
I have never tried risotto before, even as a foodie, it was a dish I thought would be too difficult to cook during 'witching hour' and who wants a back up plan ten minutes before dinner time when the kids are already starting to gnaw the table. Without having to buy anything out of the normal, I was able to prepare the risotto with my 9 month old at my feet and Mr 7 starving at the bench. All up it took 'us' 25 minutes from start to finish and less than five minutes for it to be all gone. Mr 7 had a second helping even and Miss 9mths managed it perfectly!! My husband doesn't not get home until after 8pm and the meal was still delicious after being warmed in the microwave and there was plenty left for lunches today. I will be buying more of these to keep in the pantry for the crazy days when we are in a rush from school to sport to homework and still get a tasty, balanced dinner for the family.
It's a winner
by mom85942Combined rating
What a great product. I was able to whip up this meal in under 30 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised in how great the meal was without adding additional seasonings of any type. The ingredients and cooking times were also accurate, something a lot of packets do not get right. I will be buying this product.
quick easy and tastes great
by mom64860Combined rating
fantastic easy recipe I really cant believe how all of my kids asked for more, My partner even loved it. Maggi makes meal times so much easier for me as generally all kids and adults in the house love the food
Heaven in the cupboard.
by Andrea JayCombined rating
Maggi One Pan Risotto is so delicious. It was a huge hit with the whole family and will definitely become a regular feature in our meal plans. It is so easy and tasty. Chicken mushroom and leek went so well together and was gobbled up very quickly. It's great to have easy tasty go to meals in the cupboard for when you want something different for dinner.
A very tasy and easy to make risotto
by mom64710Combined rating
Upon trying the risotto base, I was amazed at the flavours packed into it. It had to be the most tasty risotto I have cooked and very easy to prepare. My husband is not a risotto fan but he said he enjoyed it and would have it again. The kids enjoyed it too and will buy it again.
Most loved of all trialed products
by shy kdCombined rating
Very easy to use. My whole family LOVED this. Three of my 4 children(#4 is 8 weeks) had 2 big helpings and my hubby also had 2 big helpings. I was left with half of a bowl which I enjoyed alot
Whole family loved it, my 14 year old pretty much made it on her own
by tvdsCombined rating
I'd never made risotto before, so it was great to try something different. My 14 year old did the cooking, so easy to use, and tasted better than risotto I've had in some restaurants. She cut the mushrooms up really small so my non-mushroom eater would eat it, which he did. He claimed he didn't like it, but didn't leave any in the bowl! Love that it's all in one pan, so not much washing up, will definately but it again, and will try the other flavours.
Super Easy and Tasty
by depaivaCombined rating
Having made risotto before the hard way this was a super easy to make risotto and very tasty. I left the chicken out of the risotto and increased the vegetables instead. Served grilled chicken breast and small garden salad on the side and the meal was enjoyed by everyone.
Hard to say!
by mom63446Combined rating
So firstly this one had ingredients in it that I don't eat. Never the less, I dutifully cooked it as a side for my partner to enjoy with his dinner. Now its hard to get two words out of him but he did seem to enjoy this one and I quote "It's alright hey". Ha ha - man of many words! It was easy to make and I think he would have it again for sure!!
Delicious!
by janelle84Combined rating
Our whole family enjoyed this meal, and it was even good for youngest too which I struggle with a bit. Easy, and delicious!
Yum!
by crose7Combined rating
As my husband doesn't like mushrooms I halved the quantity of mushrooms and it was very tasty. I added some extra parmesan cheese at the end (we are cheese lovers!) and it was so delicious! This will definitely be made once a week. I am keen to try and make it in the rice cooker. Love this risotto!!
Maggi you've done it again! :)
by mom77857Combined rating
WOW! I have always been too scared to make a risotto, watching all those cooking shows hasn't helped! So I was very eager to try MAGGI's One Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom risotto. As luck would have it my teenage daughter made one at school that same day, so she volunteered to 'show me the risotto ropes' so to speak. I liked how easy the recipe was to follow. It was quick to make, and the flavour was AWESOME!!! :) Congratulations MAGGI you have changed my mind about risotto! :) We will definitely get this again. ps. You even got hubby to eat baby spinach! :) So that is an extra star in itself! :)
so yunmy
by trivelleCombined rating
My kids loved this. It's hard getting them to eat rice and vegetables at the best of times but I made this and it was gone in a flash. They even asked for it again.
So easy and quick to make!
by mom88281Combined rating
I couldn't believer that this dish was literally a one pot dinner. I don't like pumpkin, so I used potato instead. The dish was so tasty and more-ish - I felt like I could've sat down and eaten the whole bowl myself! I will definately be buying this product with it being so quick and easy to make.
Great easy product for busy mums!
by qtpieCombined rating
Was a pleasant surprise to get the Maggie one pan mix in the post last week. I was looking forward to giving it a try as I'd never made risotto before. It was so easy to use and it only took 30mins in total to get the meal on the table. The kids loved the meal and it was an easy way to get extra veges into their meal. I would definately recommend the product and will be trying the different variations when I next go shopping!
Family Winner
by mom72239Combined rating
Very impressed with this simple to make Risotto. It was great to come home from work and be able to cook something so delicious without taking up too much time. The kids aren't big Risotto fans but they all loved this dish. I know what I will be buying next time I want a quick simple dinner. Would definately recommend to anyone - 10/10 for me. :)
The best way to cure a fussy eater

My son loved the taste of the Chicken Leek & Mushroom Risotto. He went back for seconds and as the mum of a fussy eater I was thrilled that he loved it so much. You're onto a winner here.

The taste was great, The kid loved it and being packed with veg made it a great family meal ,the only complaint was that there was no leftovers !! I Definitely will buy this again and recommend to friends ! I would love large family size sachets as an option also instead of needing to buy two of everything but

Now lives in our cupboard for quick dinners
by KristieCombined rating
"YUMMY!" Is what I heard when I cooked this meal for my 3 year old and hubby. So very easy to use and made even better by the fact there is only 1 dish to wash up after! We have loved it so much that a packet now lives in our cupboard for those dinners that creep up and you have nothing prepared. Hubby took the left overs to work the next day and said after sitting in the sauce overnight it was even more delicious!
TASTY, QUICK & EASY RISOTTO
by mom65126Combined rating
Risotto can be become a weekly favourite with Maggie One Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom as we always have these ingredients on hand. Fantastic how you can just leave it to cook. Usual method of cooking risotto was off the menu due to the effort of constant stirring but Maggi have come up trumps again with this one pan wonder. Everyone loved the taste and I have another winner to put on my weekly menu planner.
worth buying
by vanessa_landowCombined rating
big hit. first time trying risotto. amazing and delicious
fantastic, creamy, yummy!!!
by mummytofourCombined rating
I was a little worried about making a risotto, I have previously tried a risotto with another brand and didn't turn out well. I was so amazed how this turned out it was creamy and all the flavour combinations worked so well together. I am not a god cook so I love the idea of the one pan to cook a meal quick and easy to make. My little 14 month old really dg into it and so did my partner, I of course loved it also. Will definitely recommend to friends and family to make and will buy this again too!
5 Star Review - Yum!
by yashakCombined rating
Risotto is something I have never mastered at home - either its too dry or too gluggy wet. So long as you buy the right kind of rice (arborio) it usually comes out 'OK' I love Chicken and Leek soup so I gave this a try. Oh my it was delicious. You could tell as soon as you opened the packet how yummy this was going to be. The good part about this recipe base is that it is ONE PAN... just pop your ingredients into a pan and off you go. I have already bought this again and its so yummy - do not hesitate to buy!
RISOTTO ONE PAN WONDER
by mom65127Combined rating
Normally risotto is too hard and time consuming to make so it gets put in the too hard basket but with Maggi one pot wonder we now can make risotto a weekly staple in our house. My son loves to cook and he had no problem making this one and we all loved it. I loved the night off in the kitchen so thumbs up on this one now I want to try the whole range. Thank you Maggi for making dinner time more fun.
Yummo
by kykyCombined rating
Wow, so nice to have a meal that uses next to no dishes. Was so yummy and plan on making it a regular meal
So Easy to use, I would recommend it to everyone
by dee lindsayCombined rating
We are not into Leek so I replaced it with pumpkin, and we all just adored it. The ease of making it is incredible, my hubby did the cooking for me, I can't cook anymore due to chronic pain. He is a bit funny about new recipe's, but using all 3 of these Maggi products were fantastic, he now has 3 more meals to add to our dinners, and even the Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek (pumpkin) & Mushroom Risotto was absolutely delicious. Even though we don't eat Leek, I still gave it a 5 out of 5 because it is easy to change from Leek to another ingredient. I was so impressed how much Mick enjoyed cooking the Maggi meals. The smell was incredible wafting into the lounge room and he was outstanding, raving and ranting about how easy it is to cook with Maggi easy meals. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review these products, I enjoyed every single one, other than the stir fry being a bit too spicy for me, but we are trying to work out what we can put in the recipe to soak up the sauce so it isn't so spicy. That is another thing about Maggi, you can play with the recipe, alter it a bit and it still doesn't take anything away from the initial meal and recipe. YUM YUM YUM. Thank you sooooo much. He is buying some to put in our pantry for other meals in our next big shop on Saturday week. We are also going to try other Maggi meals. We have had some in the past, but we will have more now we have tried these three. I will post a picture next time. We were so overwhelmed at the taste, we ate it before remembering to take a photo. xxx Dee
Maggi Magic
by insanemonkeyCombined rating
Ive never made risotto before, so this was a complete gamble! plus im not one to like an over powering mushroom flavour either, but this was so simple and easy compared to how hard I thought it would be and the flavour was just terrific, there was no overpowerment and it all blended in together to make a great dish that even the kids asked for seconds for!

excellent I used leftover chicken and mushrooms too. Can use it with rice and diced vegetables too. Good to have Maggi packets in pantry too, lots of exciting things you can create too.Add to other dishes for extra flavour too. The perfect solution for making quick dishes a must in your pantry it is true
Simple easy qUICK
by netty2Combined rating
A winner for our family, I have never attempted a risotto before thinking it was all too hard but with this pouch it was a cinch. Tasted great and the rice was cooked to perfection. The kids who are usually really picky eaters finished their plates which was great to see. I have added this to my shopping list as a staple now for the pantry. It will also be handy when extra guests pop in for dinner as it certainly makes a fair amount.
Tasty quick dinner
by mom65671Combined rating
This risotto was easy and we already had all the ingrediants. Our teenage son who has been learning cooking this year at school wanted to try it and he was super successful with it. We added a little creamy feta at the end. This is most definately something we plan to buy regularly in our shopping.
fantastic and delicious

Scrumptious meal. I usually do all the cooking but this time the 10 year old grabbed the packet and away she went.

I have never made Risotto before because I thought it was too much work but with Maggi One Pan my children could even make it. So easy. No constant stirring it was a dream to make.

Well my title says it all! We don't eat a lot of risotto in our house because it is a long dish to prepare and often the flavour just isn't there.

One Pan Wonderous Risotto
by rovermumCombined rating
This recipe was absolutely divine and demolished by everyone in the family. It was soooo easy to make and the flavours were just delicious. I can't believe how much the recipe made which means we're having leftovers tomorrow night. I love a risotto and often order it when we eat out. I must admit I've only made a risotto once or twice at home before, but will definitely be making this one again.
A Quick & Easy Meal
by damish70Combined rating
I loved that this was a quick & easy meal that only took 30 mins in total to cook. I always thought risotto's were hard to make with my past attempts sticking to the pan & requiring constant stirring. I couldn't believe how easy the Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto was to make, it required very little preparation or stirring & the taste was great. Even the kids liked the taste! A general hit all round. Looking forward to trying other risotto's in the Maggi range.

I really enjoyed the Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto. Simple and so easy to make, and only one pan to wash up!! I also added capsicum to give it a bit of colour. Could easily add extra veg to make it stretch a bit further. Very yummy and will be buying this in the future. Two thumbs up.
Absolutely Delicious

I have never cooked a risotto before so it was fun to do. It turned out perfectly and tasted delicious. My partner isn't a big fan of rice but he loved it and my three year old practically inhaled it. It was lovely and creamy and full of flavour. I found it quite easy to cook and not a lot of preparation required
Easy & Tasty meal that the whole family loved.
by mookieCombined rating
This has got to be the easiest risotto ever. Even I couldn't ruin it. I read some of the other reviews prior to making it myself and, taking note of some of the comments about it being a little bland, added a decent teaspoon of crushed garlic as well when cooking the leek & mushrooms. It was really tasty. If I had to be critical on one point, the taste of rosemary in the sachet mix was a little strong and overpowered the other herbs but it was not so strong as to ruin the dish. We will definitely be having this meal again and looking to see if there are other flavours in the Maggi risotto range.
so taste and easy just what I love

This was very simple to make and wow the taste was great every one in our house loved it Will definitely buy it again.
A Tasty Meal Prepared in a Jiffy!

We enjoyed Maggi One Pan! I slightly modified the recipe adding onion and peas (instead of mushrooms and leak) to suit my family's tastes! The parmesan cheese and cracked pepper added at the end really worked well with the flavours of the dish!! My hubby is a bit fussy, but he was first finished and went back for seconds!! A success here!
The whole family loved it

Definately a winner in my house everyone loved it my 4 year old son had seconds. Added bonus that it only had one pan to cook it which is less washing up. Also easy to prepare & follow directions. As a lover of risotto will definately buy again.

Loved how simple the instructions were, although I did add more cream as it needed a tiny bit more, The flavours weren't overpowering and the kids ate every mouthful, one came back for seconds which is odd, he's usually a picky eater. Next time I will add more vegetables for variety but leek, mushroom and chicken was a hit in our house, definitely to cook again,
My whole family absolutely loved the maggi one pan!!!
by mom73156Combined rating
I'm not a very creative cook and have never tried to cook with leek before..upon asking my partners mum what part if the leek to cut every other part if this recipe was a breeze. The meal was prepared and served all in 30minutes! My son who is 9years old on first glimpse of the mushrooms screwed his face up and said he doesn't think he will eat it as he only likes his mushrooms raw.. I told him to please try this digs for a good review.. Let me tell you his plate was completely empty!! My entire family loved it and I will definitely be busting this product again!!!
So easy to make and whole family loved it

I have never enjoyed cooking risotto, but that has changed. This was so easy and the result was a delicious creamy dish that the whole family ate, even the fussy kids! I will definitely buy this again and recommend it to my friends. Thank you Maggi for this one-pan wonder!

Very yummy. I left out the leek as I'm not a fan, but was very tasty. I found the leftovers the next day were even better as the flavours had absorbed even more into the rice.

Quick and healthy meal

So simple to make, healthy ingredients and minimal washing up make this a winner in my books. With our very busy lifestyles this dish was quick and easy to make after a long day at work and running around after the kids. The kids and hubby loved it! It has definitely become a family favourite and a regular on our shopping list.
Absolutely Delicious
by dj23249Combined rating
A convenient and simple to cook, great tasting risotto the family loved. The taste was delicious, my son even asked for seconds and he usually struggles to eat his dinner. The flavour was rich and creamy and masked the vegetable taste very well so the kids didn't complain about pumpkin, mushrooms or spinach in the dish. Loved it and will definitely be purchasing in the future

Our household loves risotto
by Statho2000Combined rating
We love risotto in our house, but the thought of making it from scratch is what stops us from making it much. But using this packet mix with extremely straight forward instructions made it easy for us to make it a midweek meal if we really wanted to. The risotto was cooked in the one pan, making it less washing up afterwards too. A win-win all 'round if you ask me.

yummy full of taste and easy to make my whole family enjoyed it. The spinach gives it that unique taste. very healthy and satisfying. First time I actually cooked it. I would buy the recipe pack and cook it again. the ingredients I had to buy wasn't that much and gave it such a nice taste.
Very tasty
by yyon4699Combined rating
I love the taste of the risotto and my fussy daughter ate them all up with no problem. However I do worry about the salt content and whether if it is such a good idea for me to continue using these in my cooking because I am also feeding a little toddler :( I would definitely consider it as an emergency meal helper but I won't be using it everyday :(
A Family Favourite!
by jodiebearCombined rating
I cooked this delicious meal for my family recently, and I must say, it was an absolute winner! My husband and son both loved it. It was full of flavour and so easy to make.

Very Yummy Chicken Risotto
by cassy26Combined rating
I loved this risotto. I always thought risotto was difficult to make but this was so simple and it tasted amazing! The whole family loved it. I did have to cook it for a little longer than the packet stated as the rice was still a little hard at the specified time but other than that it was fantastic.

Too easy
by bolshieCombined rating
I love cooking things in one pan. Usually means something is quick and simple and less mess to clean. The One Pan Risotto was all that. The instructions were simple and it was easy. No standing around adding small amounts of water/stock and almost constantly stirring this Risotto pretty much cooked itself. Tasted good as well. I found it was just the thing for mid week when want something nice but cant be bothered with to much effort. THis ones going on the shopping list.
One pan Wonder!!

I gotta say who doesn't love a one pan wonder! this was quick and easy no mess no fuss 30 min and we were all sitting down to a Delicious meal. Will be putting on each weeks shopping list as it's great for those nights when u don't want to slave over the stove!

I love risotto and am quite fussy when it comes to it being cooked correctly. I thought to get a smooth and great tasting risotto you had no choice but to watch over it, stirring it all the time. I was so pleasantly surprised that Maggi have taken that chore away and still manage to produce a wonderful creamy meal with lots of flavour. Highly recommended.
Yum yum yum!!!!
by shaneanddanCombined rating
I like risotto but have always been too scared to try to make one myself as I know how easy it is to mess them up. I was skeptical at first about how good a risotto could possibly be out of a packet. Wow was I impressed. Super easy. No fuss, no messing around adding a ladle at a time of liquid. It was truely amazing and incredibly tasty. Will so be buying this again, even better was the fact that my 4 year old ate it as well and liked it so winner in my books
So easy and it was delicious!
by aohnesorgenCombined rating
Even on the stovetop I knew this was going to be a super quick and easy meal to cook but I decided to try it out in the Thermomix. Not having to stir left me completely hands free and it was so simple. I really liked the dish, my hubby LOVED it and has already requested it again. The kids aren't so used to risotto and took some convincing that it wasn't just gluggy! They ate most of the rice and the chicken so I'd say it was a success.
Easy no fail risotto :-)
by gem22Combined rating
This was a lot yummier than we all expected! I have never even attempted to make a risotto before but this was so easy I couldn't fail. The flavour was great and I even had to share with my 1yo. I think the biggest hurdle was going to be my hubby who doesn't like mushrooms or leaks but actually liked it (while pulling out the mushrooms he could see). In the end I would most highly recommend it and I am definitely going to make it again.

fantastic simple rissotto
by devpandaCombined rating
We loved this, it was easy to cook, super tasty and everyone had empty bowls when they finished so it was a hit all round. We don't tend to eat much risotto but hubby said after we finished this one that he was going to check what other flavours they sell - and he probably eats the least rice of all of us so for him to enjoy it was a huge plus). Fantastic flavour, simple to cook, tasty balanced meal, what more could we want? Certainly one that will be added to our shopping going forward.

I'm In Love With Maggi One Pan Risottos!
by damish70Combined rating
The Maggi One Pan Chicken Leek & Mushroom Risotto was so loved by the whole family that it has become a regular on our menu. I love the whole One Pan concept & it's easiness to cook that I had to try the other Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin & Baby Spinach Risotto. This one was equally great & the kids didn't even complain that it had pumpkin in it. The pumpkin certainly added a sweetness to the dish which got balanced out once I added the cracked pepper & feta cheese. I hope Maggi continue to make more in this risotto range.

Loved it. Really easy to make unlike when we make it from scratch you don't have to consistently stir it. loved the flavour just added some peas and corn. Going out to see if I can find and buy the Maggi One Pan chicken, pumpkin & baby spinach risotto. We all love risotto and are always looking for a quick meal on nights that the kids have sport or work and can heat up without losing the flavour.
Easy and quick to prepare compared to normal risotto
by ellejay19Combined rating
Really liked this base, it made the risotto quick and easy to prepare.. I love risotto, but dont make it often as it does take a fair bit of time.. This made it much quicker, and the taste was good.. Quite strong bold flavours, but I like that sort of thing, as does my partner.. Kids were not overly keen to try it, as they dont really like mushrooms, but they were pleasantly surprised..Will use again!

When I first received this product, I thought "I'll never make this - risotto is too hard". I put off making it for a few days, but when I did I was pleasantly surprised! It was so easy and tasted great. I don't normally make packet stuff because the tasted is usually bland, but this was really nice! I loved that it was all in the one pot.

Light, flavoursome & non-gluggy
by mel nCombined rating
I'm always hesitant making Risotto, possibly because I haven't had success. Maggi Risotto Chicken, Leek & Mushroom proved to good to be true. After browning the chicken, leek and mushroom, I simply added the mix & rice for 10 mins. After adding the remaining water, I held my breathe, didn't take my eyes of the mixture and stirred. The cream really added to that creamy flavour. WOW! it was easy, I nailed it! ;) & converted my husband to a risotto lover.
I hate doing the dishes, so I loved this!!

Well Received Dinner
by shareemCombined rating
Served 2 adults, 4.5yr old and 2.5 year old. Positives - Adults loved the taste and enjoyed the meal. Our 4.5 yr old described it as "The rice is really, really yummy and the chicken is too." We all ate a good sized serve. Negatives - Would have been a stretch to feed 4 adults. Yes only one pan was required but you also need a couple of measuring cups and the jug to mix the recipe base. All up, would definitely use this again. It makes a nice change to the usual work night dinners but without the time usually required for a risotto and a great flavour.
a yummy family dinner
by KarenCombined rating
This arrived today which helped me decide on tonights dinner :) It required me to add: leek, mushroom, chicken breast, cream, baby spinach & water. My son is lactose intolerant so I served his before adding the cream (which is luckily the last step along with the baby spinach) so that was really easy to adjust to suit his needs. Everybody in our family had seconds (incl 1 and 4 yo). I changed the recipe slightly as I added 6 slices of shortcut bacon & therefore a little extra water. It was delicious , easy to follow and packed with fresh & healthy veg.
Quick and so easy to prepare!

I bought this product at the supermarket after trying the Maggi one pan dinner risotto with the pumpkin and baby spinach that you add the chicken to [ I was given this via mom to review.]This one with the leek and mushroom was equally as nice to eat and very tasty. It is such a handy item to have in your pantry for those quick delicious meals and the great thing about this risotto is that you use only one pan so no huge piles of washing up!

Yummy and easy to prepare
by mom70674Combined rating
I regularly make Chicken and Mushroom Risotto from scratch which my family really enjoys. I was not sure how this product would taste but it was actually really yummy. The inclusion of the leek, baby spinach and cream, which was different to my usual risotto, was really tasty and made the product nice and fresh. The instructions were easy to follow and also I didn't have to stand there the whole time stirring as a large amount of liquid was added after two 10 minute intervals and absorbed in with the odd stir.. I was worried that it may be gluggy but the texture was great. I will definitely buy again.
its a tasty risotto
by unicorn16Combined rating
Let me start by saying that my Husband Hates risotto. He thinks it should be a side dish or mushroom stuffer only, and not a main meal. So it took some convincing to even consider the dish for dinner. It was quick and simple to prepare. Eventually my husband tried it and actually liked it. He still thought it would be better as a side dish rather than a main, but I would be happy with it either way. My son absolutely loved it and I would make it again just for lunches for him.

At first glance I was a little underwhelmed. It didn't appear to be anything I wouldn't ordinarily make myself... The end result however was incredibly tasty.

I used Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto flavour base and was surprised at how much flavour is packed into the powdered stock.

A quick and easy meal thats enjoyed by all.

This was really yummy and the kids liked it too. The only thing I didn't love was the amount of cream, I felt that it could have been halved and some parmesan cheese added instead.

Love the Maggi Risotto Chicken, Leek & Mushroom mix. Surprised at how easy the risotto was to make & that it actually turned out, considering risotto is hard to make. Loved the fact that you all you use is 1 pan, meaning less washing up. Nice flavour & would definitely make again.

This is something that I normally wouldn't even try as I am not a fan of Leek. But as I got it to try I thought why not give it a go and I did. I went and got the ingredients that were needed, prepared and cooked it with help from my 3yr old. One very easy meal to do that with. Dished up and sat down to eat a bit hesitant but hey what did I have to lose? As it turned out nothing it was delicious all bowls polished off. A definite do again.
Very easy, even men can make it.

Hubby took charge with this one. We weren't able to find a leek at Woolworths so we used onion instead. He cooked the chicken separately to the risotto and served on top. The risotto was lovely and silky, we didn't need to add all the recommended cream either as it was creamy enough with just a small amount. Would be interested to see if they bring out different flavours of risotto.
Loved it.

I normally only do oven baked risottos, but this one was so easy to do and so delicious. We added slightly more cream to ours and everyone loved it. Kids were a bit hesitant, but myself, husband and mum absolutely loved it. Will definitely be buying this one in the future.

I did not use mushrooms as one family member doesn't like them, but even with just the chicken and leak, there was a lot of flavour. It was an extremely easy dish to make and quite filling.

This was a quick and easy midnight meal. We did find it funny that you had to add virtually everything, so it's basically a flavour sachet.

My partner and I really enjoyed this meal, it was quick to prepare and easy to cook ( so I let him do it). The only down side was that our 2 little ones weren't very keen on it as a main meal but they did enjoy helping their dad prepare it.

Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin & Baby Spinach Risotto was very easy to make, the recipe called for a few easy to obtain ingredients that added texture to a delicious meal that satisfied my families varied tastes. The recipe was easy enough for my teenaged daughter to create a family meal that appealed to the whole family.

This was a tasty meal that was super easy to make. My toddler daughter loved the taste. After a long week at work, Friday is normally our takeaway night. Instead of takeaway last week, I thought in would make this Maggie One Pan meal. It tasted better than takeaway, was an absolutely no fuss meal to make and got the thumbs up from my husband and daughter. This is a product that I will be buying again.

This was a great ' what can I cook tonight? ' meal and the best part my 5 year old is very fussy eater. It was a little too salty for me though! The instructions were also very easy to understand and follow...it also works with regular long grain rice as I did not have any risotto rice grain on hand...the sample came only within 2 days of submission due date!
Loved it, was so easy and tasty for this hard working Mum.

Really enjoyed this Risotto and the kids loved it too! Super easy to prepare, only 1 pot to wash up and tasted great. Served with a green salad and shaved parmasan - Yummmo! I loved that I could pop it all in together and walk away - no continual stirring or gluggy rice!
Tasty, easy, timesaver!

Both my husband & I really liked the flavour of this risotto. Easy to prepare and all done in the one pan. Adding the liquid in two halves was time saving, but almost thought there was going to be too much! To be honest, if you love risotto make it the old fashioned way. This is good for a quick packet meal. I would make again though.

Maggi one pan risotto was so easy to use! I've never had a good track record with risottos, so I was very surprised at how easy it was to cook and cook well. It only took a few easy steps to create a big meal that was the perfect texture and a hit with my kids. (It made enough for 5-6 decent serves) the only downside, I found the flavour to be a bit bland but salty and lacking some punch. (maybe a bigger hit of garlic would have helped?)Otherwise a great meal for the whole family that was easy to make.

Yum, this was a very tasty meal creation! I absolutely loved it, my 11 year old complained about the mushroom and wanted more taste & my 3 year old ate the whole bowl without any complaints!! That was surprising! I can't wait to eat the left overs tomorrow & will definitely be purchasing this to cook for my family again… next time i will make sure my husband is home too!
Easy to cook
by mands22Combined rating
It was a lot easier to cook than normal risottos, smelt delicious and tasted yummy, although a little overpowering. I had to add extra cream. I found that unless I was constantly stirring it, it would stick to the bottom of the pan quite easily, even on a low heat, so I needed to add extra water. All in all, it was easy to make and we would add it to our fortnightly menu. Two thumbs up from our 14 month old daughter, she kept wanting more!
Tasty treat!

Great smooth texture and beautiful flavour. I actually didn't make Risotto, I just used as a base sauce and added chicken and veg. Would definitely use again. Bigger pouches are needed I think to cook for larger families

i love making risottos, and never thought to use a packet mix, but this was delicious, not a fan of pumkin, so i used mushrooms instead, i think this mix is one of those products that you can customise to suit your taste and this is why i will definately be using it again.
So easy
by ushiCombined rating
Found this extremely easy to use. The flavour did taste somewhat 'artificial' though but as far as following the steps and making an easy risotto goes, this is a winner. One pot cooking is always a favourite in my household. Will buy and keep in the cupboard 'in case of emergencies' or whenever I need something to cook quickly.

I really liked the Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin & Baby Spinach Risotto. It was very tasty and hit all the right taste buds! I really enjoyed the flavours that came through. The flavours were not over powering they were just right. My children enoyed the dinner aswell but not as much as what I did. My children are not fans of pumpkin which put them off somewhat.
Family Pleaser

My family really enjoyed this meal. It was easy to make and one pot as stated. My husband and I found the flavouring to be a bit strong and would increase the rice and water when making again. The children cleaned their plates and asked for more...best recommendation I can give.

For a quick, easy and tasty meal MAGGI ONE PAN CHICKEN, LEEK & MUSHROOM RISOTTO ticks all the boxes. I usually like to make my meals from scratch but use packet mixes when I'm feeling a bit slack. This was a simple way to make risotto and I have to admit, I'll probably make risotto like this from now on.

Congrats MAGGI, this was an easy quick meal to prepare, great for us working mums. Smelled and looked and most of all tasted great. My 4 year olds were not to excited about it but gave it a go. They are slightly fussy 4 yr olds so will keep trying. Overall great job and will most certainly be putting this in my shopping trolleybagain.

Risotto would often be featured in cooking shows. It looked hard to prepare, until Maggi's one pan risotto came into the picture! This truly is a one pan wonder. It was flavourful and really yummy, you can't help but get seconds! Looking forward to more varieties to come out in the market. Must buy!

by Rachel LeeCombined rating
I substituted nearly everything in the recipe! My husband doesn't like mushroom, and I didn't have any leek or cream - so this risotto became chicken and avocado risotto with Philadelphia lite cream! And I must say it turned out BRILLIANT. I added the avocado at the end like you'd normally do with the spinach, and the only thing I found while cooking it was I needed to add a bit of extra water (may have had it cooking at too high a temperature) but it still turned out perfectly.
Easy to use, but read the label!

This product made risotto much easier. It's still a bit of work but for a risotto it was quick and easy. Everyone loved it and came back for more. We would definitely buy it next time. The leek flavour might be a but much fir young children or people who don't like leek. But my kids ate the mushrooms and didn't even notice that's what they were eating. Win!

I made a few changes to this recipe, using quinoa instead of rice and corn flour to thicken rather than cream. It was delicious!! I managed to make dinner while bathing my 3 kids - that's how easy it was! Just threw everything in the pot and let it simmer. My only concern, as a family that tries to eat clean, was that the second ingredient is sugar. Not super keen on something with sugar right up there on the ingredient list, but great for a quick fix if I'm in a hurry.

So if I wanted a fantastic risotto I'd make one from scratch but when I want a tasty and easy risotto this is the one. It didn't quite stretch to serve 4 as the packet suggests, it was close. I added a little more spinach to give it a bit more colour and I was quite pleased. Everyone ate it and finished their bowl (can't ask for more than that).

We included the older 2 kids in preparing this meal. What a good idea for family night it was. I love how it was only one pot really. It saved a whole lot of time on cleaning up.

Maybe try some other flavors too

by carlton1Combined rating
As a busy Mum, I found this one pan base mix simple to use and effective. The kids generally love eating risotto, and I have traditionally made it from scratch however this worked well for during the week, as I could multi-task and watch the kids at the same time. It was quicker to make then traditional risotto, and the flavours quite good too. I omitted the cream, and added ham instead of chicken - but the kids loved it anyway and we would probably use it again.

I like that it was a one Pan dish, easy to make and taste great. I added salt and pepper and l added prawns to the dish. My daughter wasn't a huge fan but my hubby loved it. The time it took to make the dish was reasonable and the fact that l didn't have to make chicken broth cut a lot of the time also.

I loved this meal, prep was quick (i used stir-fry chicken from the supermarket so no cutting) recipe was easy to follow.. Hubby went back for seconds and there was heaps left over. I did cook the mushrooms separate as hubby isn't a fan and added my own portion to them. On the other hand the kids did not like it one bit, we had tears and tantrums.. So maybe one for the adults
Even hubby managed this!
by bernadette2388Combined rating
I had planned this for dinner but then got called in to work so left it for my husband to cook for himself and our 4 yo. He said he found it fairly easy and enjoyed it, turns out he forgot to add the cream but it was still nice. Super fussy 4yo ate hers which is a huge achievement for her but hers was served before adding the spinach as any sign of green is a definite no go. I ate some left overs the next day and quite liked it, though I think it would have been better with the cream added.
Nice flavour, easy to use.
by cloverstormCombined rating
We had tuna, mushrooms & spanish onions. Really yummy & easy to use. I'd use any variety of vegetables with this sauce, it's quite light & complimentary. I would use it again as an easy base to use for a quick meal & I like that you can make it as healthy as you like with whatever you've got fresh.
Lovely flavour - so few ingredients
by travelbugtooCombined rating
Quite easy to make up, just a bit longer than the others but worth the wait. Shared this with my family and parents, and still had left overs. All the adults agreed that we would happily have the risotto again but Miss 4 and 6 weren't big fans.

It smelt so yummy cooking & was a hit with the other half & I. Not such a hit with our fussy 2.5 year old. We got her to taste it at least & it didn't get spat out either. I found the mix had enough pepper in it that I didn't need to garnish the top with pepper. Overall it was enjoyed last night & will be enjoyed again.
Quick easy and tasty
by mom63364Combined rating
I LOVED how quick and easy this was to cook and that it's a one pan meal but I didn't like that the ingredients that it requires is not something I usually have in my fridge (leek and cream) or my pantry (arborio rice). I quite enjoyed the flavour but I think it definitely needs the parmesan cheese that is a serving suggestion written on the packet to be served with it, it would have given it more of a flavour hit. My husband thought it had a bit of a strange taste to it, in his words - 'it's got a weird cheese flavour' but my kids 7yo and 2yo enjoyed it and when asked if I should make it again they both said yes. Overall we enjoyed the meal and will more than likely purchase in the future but I'm not sure if I would buy it regularly to cook for my family.
KIDS LOVED IT

You sure do get a lot of risotto, the kids loved the taste, but I found it was a bit aromatic for my taste buds, pretty easy to make and its was very creamy.

by mom82762Combined rating
I didn't mind this product although it was a little bland and we ended up adding quite a bit of salt and pepper and also Parmesan cheese. It is impossible to brown the chicken within the 2 minutes you're instructed to fry it. All in all, for a product that does not contain MSG or artificial colours or flavours, it's not bat at all.
Overall very good!

Easy to prepare, love the one pan concept... less to wash up! The flavour was very good and the texture was lovely.

My family of 4 and a Japanese student quite enjoyed this meal although 1 kid didn't like the mushrooms and 2 kids didn't like the baby spinach so left those bits.

With those additions it was great and my husband and I really enjoyed it!

As per the title this was a quick and easy meal to make and a very handy sachet to have in the cupboard. I like to make my own marinades and sauces but recipe bases are not my forte so this product was a great find.

This product might be enjoyed more by older children

Great eastbound pan dish. My children don't normally eat leek, but they thoroughly enjoyed this meal. And even ate the mushrooms that I cut up small to disguise.

I loved it but unfortunately the 3 other members of our household do not like mushrooms so would not even try it! But leek and mushrooms are two of my favourite foods so I ate the whole dish so it was good for me. I did have to cook them an entire separate dinner though (their fault, not Maggi's!).

Having a family who don't like mushrooms I would normally not get anything that said 'mushroom' on it. But this was great as you were supposed to add the mushrooms so I just left them out. The Maggi flavour base added a great mix of herbs and stock which went so well with the chicken and leek and the cream made it rich and smooth. My daughter loved it, husband wasn't as keen (said it had a funny reheated chicken taste) and I thought it was quite nice. Loved how easy it was to do and the risotto came out perfectly cooked.

I don't have much success in making risotto but this one was easy! Finally I managed to make an edible risotto! It has a very strong herby taste which I didn't like at first but after a few mouthfuls became very moreish. Will Definately be buying in the future
Easy meal

I was never keen on risotto so had never made it before. This packet has now changed my mind. Easy to make and my husband and eldest son both enjoyed it as well.
Easy to use in Thermomix
by mom72550Combined rating
I have a thermomix so we made it in that and it was easy to make. The kids aren't a fan of mushroom so we had to take it out for my son (and my daughter ate most before she realised there was any there). For me whilst this was nice, given I can make risotto from scratch in the thermomix I wouldn't bother with a base mix.
Not bad, not sure if I would make again

Quick and easy one pan dish
by gouldieCombined rating
This risotto was as quick and easy to prepare as the directions on the packet. It's tasty, although a little too peppery for kids, and my husband has definitely requested to have this again, soon! I found that the amount of water was insufficient and had to add more. This should be noted on the directions, as the medium heat setting on my stove caused the liquid to evaporate quickly, and would probably happen to others. I'd also like to see some more meal ideas on vegetables to add to this dish. Overall we enjoyed this risotto and would recommend it to others.
Not a huge hit with the kids....

Maggi One-Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto was my first attempt at making risotto & I'm sure I could have done better! My husband & I enjoyed the taste but the kids were not so keen....Next time I shall add some chicken to the recipe for the kids!
Tasty
by TanialinaCombined rating
I enjoyed this meal. It was a little more fuss to cook than I expected. The flavour seemed really strong while I was cooking it however once the cream was added it was really nice. I didn't like cooking the chicken for that long and actually found that it was a little tough. Sadly my daughter didn't seem interested. Overall I thought it was quite tasty and would make it again.
Very easy an so quick

Very clear instruction- I liked that I could put it all in the pan an then bath my kids while dinner was cooking-. Also this meal is great for left overs for lunch next day.

These have been a great alternative to the noodles standby. Definitely a favourite with the time poor, high energy Uni student. The need to have have instant food, instantly available, is never ending in our household. I was tempted to give this a try and now it is a firm favourite. It is filling and nutritious, and makes a great base for other ingredients. It now has a permanent place in our pantry.
Very easy to make though didnt enjoy the taste that much
by mom89951Combined rating
This was very easy to make which we loved how quick it was but we didn't like the strong pepper taste it left after eating it which is the only downside. Other than that it is great and will recommend this to others
As easy, tasty meal for the whole family!
by AmberCombined rating
We don't cook risottos often due to their time consuming nature but it was a pleasure to be able to review this product. We only had to purchase a few basic ingredients and set aside 30mins to cook! The results were delicious. The flavours worked well together and it was easy to add a couple of extra ingredients that we had in the fridge (i.e.mushroom). There were plenty of leftovers so we will enjoy it again for lunch today. Well done Maggi, we will be looking out for other varieties!

i found the maggi one pan chicken, leek and mushroom risotto to be very flavorsome and very quick and easy to make, my fussy 5 year old even ate it and asked for seconds, was defiantly a hit in this house hold and i will be making it again, i may even experiment a bit with the ingredients to make some different flavors

GREAT STAPLE FOR THE PANTRY
by netty2Combined rating
This meal was well received by the adults in the family but the kids were not too keen. I was happy that I had made a risotto that had worked out & didn't end up gluggy. My kids are not big leek and mushroom lovers so I think this is why they didn't like it, however it was a big winner for the adults and I found it so easy to make and being one pan great for the after dinner clean up as only 1 x pan and a few dishes and cutlery to wash which gave me more time with the kids.

i dont make risotto but everytime my friend and i go out she orders risotto so I knew who to give it to. She was very impressed with this product. she didnt think it would measure up to ones she tried while dining out and that the mushroom flavor would be bland but she was very surprise with the strong mushroom taste. Although I wont buy this product my friend certainly will.

Risotto
by angelouiseCombined rating
I used my rice cooker to make this meal and it turned out quite nice - My 8 year old enjoyed the taste and went back for seconds but my 5 year old really didn't like it. The product was easy to use however I'm undecided if I would purchase this product as I normally use Chicken Stock and that always turns out great.

Simply Delicious!
by rox_rocksbabeCombined rating
This was a quick and easy recipe to follow. The Maggi One-Pan sachet made dinner time something to look forward to as I knew there would be hardly any mess and pans to clean afterwards. The ingredients were easy to find at the supermarket and all of my family enjoyed it, even my ten year old Miss Fussy. I asked each of them to give me a score out of five and they all gave it a four and a half, except for Miss Fussy, she gave it a three because she didn't like the Mushrooms although I noticed she still ate them. I recommend this as a mid-week dish when time is short or on weekends for a no-fuss meal.
Yummy!

I did have to vary the vegetable I put in because the kids didn't like leek or mushrooms. But the sauce was nice and light so it worked great and they loved it. Very quick and easy to cook. Loved that it was all cooked in the same pan so there was not much washing up.
not too bad.

I got my partner to cook this and as I said to him "so easy even a man can cook it" This was a very tasty rich meal and I at first thought wow...strong herby flavour but actually the herbs were just right. We all enjoyed the meal and I especially loved that it was a One Pan Meal. So the dishes were minimal and I got out of cooking also. Come on guys you can give the ladies a night off.

It's the first time I have made a risotto, my family has always snubbed their noses at the idea, but after seeing the one pan chicken, leek and mushroom risotto pack I decided to give it a go. I was really happy with the results, it tasted good, it was easy to make and all the family enjoyed eating it.
Quick and tasty
by AmandaCombined rating
This was a nice and quick, tasty meal. I don't use leek that often, and more commonly onion, so it was a nice mild, fresh taste. My husband and I enjoyed it. I did offer it to the kids, but they didn't eat it. Don't take that too hard. I have notoriously fussy children, and lets face it, any risotto with mushroom is going to look a little grey or brown. It did taste great, and was fuss free and quick to make.
Perfect blend of flavours

All my kids loved it and even asked for seconds. I loved the flavour. It was not overpowering and it was the perfect blend of taste sensations.I found it easy to make and quick (this is important to me as I hate cooking). It actually made me seem like a good cook! Love it!

So with this recipe I cheated a little bit. Everything went in the slow cooker first thing in the morning. I also added a few extra veggies that had to be used. The kids and hubby and I thought it was pretty good. I also added a little extra fresh thyme. For how easy it was it had a pretty good taste. I also just used normal basmati rice because I didn't have arborio. It was all too easy. I certainly will be happy to pick these up on Ny shop just to keep in the fridge!
Quite nice
by mandyp0710Combined rating
I had never made a risotto before so I was keen to make this. My family and I do not eat leek or mushroom (I know- key ingredients to this!), so I added in carrots and peas. This was quite easy to make (cooked in my wok). The taste was pretty nice- a taste id never tasted before- very unique. My husband absolutely loved it and would be happy if I cooked it again. My 3yo son ate most of his but clearly wasn't a favourite of his. Nice quick meal.

My husband doesnt eat pumpkin so i replaced it with sweet potato. Both my husband and son liked the Risotto, to me there didnt seem to be much flavour it seemed a bit bland. My husband put cheese through his, my son added salt and pepper. There are 3 of us in my family it did one dinner for 3 of us , lunch for for my husband, with some left over. It was very generous in the amount it actually made.

I thought this risotto was really easy to make and so full I flavour. I loved it! However, there is quite a bit of cracked pepper in the sauce sachet and my kids wouldnt eat it as they dont like spicy food. My husband also commented that it had a bit of kick to it, but he enjoyed it. I would make it again just for my hubby and I, but wouldnt recommend for kids unless yours like a bit of spice in their meals.

In addition to chicken I added prawns into the pan. Ok, I should not have added the 'green bits' into the risotto then my little man might have enjoyed it more and eaten more. Hubby and I enjoyed it. Made me more confident in making risotto - previously a dish I avoided.

Risotto isn't something we normally eat so it was surprisingly tasty. We added a few extra ingredients but the kids still didn't like it. Probably not something we would make often. But it was easy to use and can be manipulated to your own liking.
Was a hit with Hubby and Kids

Relatively easy too prepare - still time consuming but that's to be expected with risotto Kids and hubby loved it which is always a bonus Plenty of left overs for a second night which was great (meant I didn't have to cook!) and it reheated really well - just added a bit more water to loosen it. This has been requested to be added to our regular meals rotation so I would say its a winner!

Tasty, easy Chicken, pumpkin & spinach risotto

This risotto was quick and easy to make. Loved the fact that the whole meal was able to be done in one pan...a great advantage for a large family without a dishwasher. Being a first time risotto maker the recipe was quick, easy and tasty. Husband and I would definately make it again. The kids were not as impressed and only 1 of them ate it and that was under protest. A great mid-week go to meal.
Something a little different
by mom72550Combined rating
I made this in my thermomix so it was even easier to make than the packet suggested. The taste was a little different to what we were used to as I normally make from scratch and use the food for flavour along with veggie stock. The flavours were definitely preferred by the adults in the house.

It was great to try something new!

Having made risotto from scratch many times, I was interested in trying this one pan dish. I found it simple, time effective and quite tasty. My children, 2 and 4, enjoy risotto's and this worked well for them. I did find myself adding a touch more liquid, as it seemed to dry out a little more than expected but apart from that it was a winner in our house. I would look at using the one pan risotto again in the future.

My family isn't big on rice, so this was a meal I cooked up simply for myself so I could review. I love the concept and method this risotto uses. There was great flavour in this small packet.

by FyarhCombined rating
This was easy to make though took about the same amount of time as a risotto from scratch takes. Couldn't help but stir regularly even though the packet says you don't need to. It was a little bland in favour and the cream made it really rich as never used a cream in a risotto before. I forgot to get baby spinach but I don't think this would have changed the flavour to much. I also had cooked the chicken earlier in stock and herbs in the oven for a different dish and used the leftovers in this which was really handy. I would use this again.
Easy and nice

Allthough the other family members are not the biggest fans of risotto, I like to make it every now and then. This packet made it really easy and I think it has a great taste.

This risotto was tasty and easy but took a lot longer to cook than suggested by the instructions. I left the baby spinach out because I can't eat it at the moment but it still looked nothing like the supplied picture. I'd get it again if I was looking for something easy for dinner but with lowered expectations.
Delicious simple risotto
by becc85Combined rating
We usually do a risotto with chicken and mushrooms using stock. We'd never used a packet mix to flavour before so it was quite exciting to try something different. Leek is also an ingredient we hadn't used before. Maggi One-Pan Chicken, Leek & Mushroom Risotto was definitely tasty. It was easy to use and added a huge amount of flavour. My daughters didn't eat it due to illness, they are both off their food and having quite bland food at the moment. I believe our 13 month old would have loved it though. My husband and I got dinner as well as left overs for lunch the next day and it tasted great reheated. We debated a little as to wether it added 'too much' flavour but both loved it regardless.
Easy, nice tasting meal

This dish was quite enjoyable for the adults but it was too peppery for my 3 year old son and he didn't like it at all. While easy to make, the cooking time was wrong. Took about 50 mins to cook properly and soak up the liquid. As long as the extea cooking time is taken into account it can still be an easy weeknight meal.

As I had never cooked risotto before I was a little unsure after watching many a MasterChef cook ruin risotto! I added some cooked bbq chicken to the recipe then had to add further liquid but it was a success with the family.

I found this a very easy meal to prepare and the time was pretty spot on. It was great also having only one pan to clean up. I found that the taste was very subtle and probably not what I expected from a packet meal. I also reheated this meal and it still tasted fine. I will probably try this again

I really enjoyed this and thought the flavour was lovely. My partner was unsure after the first mouthful but came around by the end. The kids were not happy though - one hated the sauce and the other disliked the mushrooms and baby spinach. My baby, on the other hand, loved it. I don't cook risotto much, but this was easy to make and made me consider trying other risottos. The instructions were simple to follow, with a minor exception - it didn't say whether to cook covered or uncovered so I began with the lid on then removed it when the sauce didn't seem to be reducing. It turned out fine in the end!

Not one that my kids love
by cartofi_fasoleCombined rating
Tried this recently and was a tad disappointed in its flavour. I would rather have used plain old chicken stock and add fresh ingredients instead. The lack of stirring made the risotto seemed unauthentic, the product simply had too much starch to try to mimick starch from the rice, which I found unappealing.
Quick easy adult side dish.
by darralynCombined rating
While the grandkids weren't impressed with the taste, the adults were amazed with the texture for a quick style dish. The easiest risotto I have ever made. Would probably have gone down even better without the chicken as the chicken flavour was questionable. Would love Maggi to develop more flavours in the range.

The risotto was surprisingly easy to make and the Maggi sachet was very easy to use. My daughter and partner both loved it and said how nice it was. But I was not fan. To me the sachet gave a funny reheated chicken taste even the chicken was freshly cooked. I am not entirely sold on this because of the funny taste but it seems that not everyone felt the same way. My daughter even wanted seconds!
Most of my family rather enjoyed this dish!!!

Firstly for a packet meal mix found that there few ingredients to add- a minus for me as have young bub. But the meal turned out well, favours lovely- just add touch more cream so isn\'t too dry!.

Risotto was something I had never tried cooking before since only 2 family members eat rice,I found it easy to make using the base and hubby said it had lots of flavour and some says it would be something he would like to have again. This base made a dish I was always to scared to try because I thought it was too hard to make but now I know if I want I can give it a go using this easy to obtain recipe base.
quick and easy
by KaranCombined rating
this was quick and easy to make and the fact i had to use just one pan was great - less washing up. i wasnt too fussed on the flavour, it tasted bland to me. the kids hated the flavour and wouldnt eat it after a few mouth fulls. im glad i got to try this but wouldnt buy this variety again
Just Ok
by mom60793Combined rating
I didn't love this one. I really like the chicken and leek combination but I don't really like mushrooms so I substituted the fresh mushrooms for peas. Preparation was a bit fiddly to be honest and not that much easier than making my own risotto. Kids didn't love it. Not sure I would buy it again.
Easy to use!!
by dansim16Combined rating
Loved how easy it was to use. Very full of flavour which none of the four kids liked. Would definitely make again.
Bit disappointed in flavour

Dont think will be buying this product - kids disliked it
Maggi One Pan Chicken, Leek, and Mushroom
by eliseellabban81Combined rating
This was super easy to make, but not nearly as tasty as I hoped. This is a dish I think I would prefer to make from scratch, using alot more fresh ingrediants. On the flip side, it's definately quicker to cook the risotto with the Maggi packet on a weeknight after work, so much easier to get the meal in front of the kids than if they have to wait.
Quick simple meal
by allmareeCombined rating
It was simple easy meal to make quickly. It wasn't bad but I couldn't help but think something was lacking. Serving sizes were average if you have big eaters this would not serve 4 as it states. I would potentially make it again on one of those evening we were in a hurry. The kids were not very impressed both usually enjoy both chicken and rice but it was not well recieved by them.
Alright for a quick meal

Was easy to use and good for a quick meal but the kids weren't really impressed.
Not like Nona's recipe
by donkey12Combined rating
A simple rice dish to make but I wouldn't say it was like "proper" risotto. But then again nothing can live up to Nona's recipe.
Easy, no fuss, very little mess but nothing spectacular
by IzzysMumCombined rating
I found the recipe very easy to make with minimal effort and hardly any mess to clean up afterwards. Having said that, I make a very similar risotto quite regularly with my own stock and herbs so I didn't feel that there was anything in the packet that I didn't already have at home. If you aren't good at making a risotto and want a tasty meal, then this is a great way to make a home cooked meal without the risk of it not turning out. Most people seem to think it has a lot or even too much flavour but if you want more, you could add a little thyme.
It was ok
by EskimojadeCombined rating
I love risotto and enjoy making it, but don't do it very often because it takes too much time. When I saw this, I thought it was a fantastic idea for those who don't have a lot of time to prepare meals. The flavour just wasn't there for me, will stick to making from scratch for now. It was easy though I will give it that!
Risotto not too bad
by reganchandlerCombined rating
Maggi one pan risotto chicken, pumpkin & baby spinach. I liked how it was easy to read, understand and make. It had a nice flavor if you like them but im not a fan myself. I will definitely check in store for another flavor and test that out.
Different
by kimmbaCombined rating
I will have to say I was not to fussed on it I don't mind it but the kids did not want it and when making a meal I like to know that the whole family is enjoys it.
Too herby!
by claire1423Combined rating
Only nice if you love herbs. Very overpowering... Hubby didn't like this at all. Had to make a second dinner. Not really a fan of risottos anyway. Disappointed also that we only received these sachets on Friday and had already done our weekly shop.
Simple and easy to use, slightly over powering
by AdeleCombined rating
I found this product really simple and easy to you.You could smell the flavour the moment the pouch was opened. However did find the herby flavors a little overpowering and salty, but the addition of the cream seemed to counteract that little bit. My husband wasn't a bit fan- comparing the base flavoring to that of roast chicken stuffing. It was nice to eat but I wouldn't be rushing out to try it again.
Ok

I'm not a big fan of rid soot but it wasn't to bad my son wouldn't eat much though I think as he's not use to it
OMG -- what a mission that was!
by sambiiCombined rating
30 minutes cook time -- my foot! Followed the directions to the letter and the liquid to rice ratio was completely out -- as a result this took an hour to cook and the textures were all wrong! Over cooked and pasty. Flavour-wise, this lacked salt and would have tasted better with some garlic in there. Quite peppery, apart from that it was very bland for my palate. All in all, I would not buy this product.
Ok, but not great.
by hashbrownCombined rating
I had high hopes for this meal, as we have tried others in the Maggi range, however it was not my favourite meal. I have to say it certainly was far from terrible, it had a pleasant flavour, although slightly bland. My children were not fans, though they can be quite fussy. It was definitely easier than making a risotto from scratch, as I usually do, however I am from Italian heritage, so it is one of those meals that has been served at our table often. It would be great for beginner cooks, to get the feel of how to make a risotto & I may just be very fussy myself with this particular meal, everyone having different tastes. Although it is not something I would buy again myself, I have recommended it to my neighbour to try, as she would like an easy risotto to try to cook for her family, her children being a little less fussy than mine!

Not a big fan of risotto was easy to do but not to my liking my son didn't mode it though he ate a little bit
Has potential but was somewhat lacking
by amal80Combined rating
This meal had potential but lacked something. First colour everything on the plate was a creamy colour bar the few stray spinach leaves. I also found I needed more liquid after the 4 cups had absorbed the rice was still too firm for my liking so I added another cup, in hindsight this was probably a bit too much as I had to crank up the heat to get evaporation happening quickly so I would recommend if people find the rice a little firm to their taste perhaps add 1/2 a cup extra liquid. Mr 6 would not try at all and hubby picked out the mushrooms. I also find risotto quite easy to make anyway so it is probably not something I would buy or recommend but for those who are less experienced in the kitchen I can see how it makes cooking a meal simpler and the end result was tasty. I would recommend playing with some different vegetables for a bit more colour variation and some different flavours
Quite difficult and lots of ingredients needed
by MissySLDCombined rating
This meal base was the one I was most excited about, until I read the instructions. It calls for so many ingredients that it's basically making a risotto from scratch which is something I'd rather not do. The end result was good, well for me anyway. Unfortunately the kids didn't take to it and after all that effort I was really disappointed.
Tasted a bit too salty for my liking
by mom74812Combined rating
This was an okay meal for a change but I wouldn't buy it. My kids won't eat anything other than plain rice (sigh) and my hubby can't eat mushrooms so I was the only one in our household to try it. Was very easy to cook and it was okay to taste but it did have quite a processed, salty taste to it.
Lesson learned- don't let hubby make this!
by mocca2009Combined rating
I was really looking forward to creating this risotto as was my husband:( So i let him try make it... He said it was easy to follow but after looking at his end result and the image on the packet i knew I shouldn't have let him make this! He over-cooked the risotto...actually he murdered it! What was thought to be rice had been turned into sloppy sludge. And after one mouthful i couldnt eat anymore. So a warning: Don't let inexperienced husbands make this:) However, i am going to purchase this maggi recipe base again and see if i can improve on hubbys effort.

I didn't really like this one. I'm not a huge fan of risotto and the kids hated it.
Ok, Just for the grown ups, Easy to make

I found it fairly simple to make, but did not really enjoy the flavour, I found it somewhat spicy and my 19mth old spat his out. I probably wouldnt buy this product again
easier than normal risotto
by mummyjazzCombined rating
I've never cooked risotto before but from what i've seen this is definitely an easier way of doing it. I didn't eat this because I have a massive dislike for mushrooms but hubby loves them and he liked this enough to eat it, the kids were a little on the fence as to whether they liked it or not lol. Don't think we'd buy this again but am keen on trying other risotto bases Maggi may come up with :)
not keen on the risotto

Thanks for this chance, unlike the hamburgers this wasnt as nice for my liking, didnt like the taste at all
Not for me but still tasty
by isabeauCombined rating
Took a lot longer to cook than expected. Flavour was pretty good apart from a bit peppery for me. More indepth than the other two meal bases and I love a quick and simple recipe so I wouldn't be excited to try this one again.
Easy to make
by poida00Combined rating
While it was quite easy to make, neither me nor my family enjoyed the taste of this one. My children do not usually eat risotto, so I didn't think they would eat it - they did like the texture of it, but it was just the flavour they didn't like. As none of us eat mushrooms, this isn't a dish I would ordinarily cook.
Not a winner for us :(
by fruitwoodCombined rating
I found this product to be easy to use and it was awesome to only need one pan. Our family are big chicken eaters so I thought this would be an easy winner but unfortunately the Leek & Mushroom version wasn't a hit. The kids refused to even taste it, based on what it looked and smelt like. It's not one that I would purchase.
Kids didnt enjoy

We make risotto all the time at home, from scratch. So from the get go, the Maggi Risotto had big shoes to fill. It really fell below on most areas.
Silly how many ingredients you had to add
by Mo0DeeCombined rating
was silly how you had to add so many ingredients into it. Would of been easier just to make your own from scratch
The kids didn't like it
by fruitwoodCombined rating
This wasn't a winner for my family, although it was good to try something new. My kids aren't big fans of mushrooms, so I think they were determined not to like it before they even tried it. My husband who usually eats everything put in front of him, didn't finish his plate saying it wasn't his favourite. It might be great for families who love risotto but not for us :)
yuck (sorry)
by sezziCombined rating
I made the risotto and found it a tad bit dry and i really didn't enjoy the flavors neither did the kids, Hubby said it was one of the more unpleasant meals i have made the household, So wont be getting and making this in the furture
Not my cup of tea
by forever mumCombined rating
My family and I all tried it. The only one who thought it was worth eating was my husband. Not something I would recommend this to anyone who has a sensitive pallet
Wouldn't purchase
by KateyGalCombined rating
I am pregnant (20 weeks) at the moment and unfortunately am extremely sensitive to rosemary for some reason, and this dish made me sick. Literally. The smell of it put me off while cooking it, but I persevered thinking once all the ingredients came together, it would be ok, and once I tasted it with the cream, it was ok - my husband, who hadn't liked the smell of it cooking either, and who doesn't like creamy dishes normally, even ate a full serving. However, by the end of the meal we both were over the flavour, and then we both felt off. My sickness from it can be linked to my pregnancy-related rosemary aversion (the rosemary was overpowering) but my non-pregnant husband felt queasy afterwards as well. The sickness aside, I make risotto from scratch and it takes about the same amount of time, and isn't that hard - I found the packet mix didn't really add any "ease-of-use" benefit over making it from scratch yourself, plus sugar isn't the second listed ingredient in my homemade risotto, and homemade doesn't include all the preservatives/additives that made this unpleasant to eat.
