This meal has about a thousand delicious things happening in it, we don't even know if we can mention them all: the juicy, flavorful chicken and the creamy richness of risotto flavored with fresh spinach, briny artichokes, and nutty Parmesan. Butter… what can you say about that mixed with the puckish preserved lemon, and adorning the tender chicken.
