2-1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1 package (5.6 ounces) instant chicken-flavored rice and sauce mix

Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 25-30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I think Lipton stopped making the risotto mix. I used Lipton Creamy Chicken Rice and it came out really good.
