Incorporate Wine and Broth: Stir in white wine and simmer until it has mostly evaporated. Begin adding the hot chicken broth, one-third at a time, stirring constantly until the rice has absorbed the liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring continuously. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. The rice should be tender yet firm to the bite.

Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Ensure the chicken broth is kept at a simmer throughout the cooking process to help maintain the risotto's creamy texture.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or peas, for added flavor and nutrition.
