Reviews
I used a rice cooker and used chicken broth instead of water, added onion, garlic and Serrano peppers, pretty tasty. Also caramelized onions when preparing chicken. I will make this again!
Used chicken stock instead of water. Added onion and garlic when browning the chicken. Seasoned the chicken with Montreal chicken. Will make this again.
I made this for a dinner party and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. I used a Southwestern rice mixture which made it a little spicier. Easy and not having to turn on the oven in the heat is a plus!
Easy and delicious !!
Very easy and tastes great.
So easy and delish! Chicken super moist
Agree with others this needs to be doctored up a little, but overall it’s a good base! I added onion and garlic, seasoned my chicken with cumin and garlic powder in addition to s&p, added some cumin when I put the rice in, chicken stock in place in water. Used a mango habanero salsa. I also added a can of black beans to stretch this for more leftovers. Cilantro to garnish, sour cream for those who wanted. Basically, if you’re learning your way around the kitchen, take the time to read suggestions in the reviews. If you’re a more experienced cook, use your tried and true tricks for boosting flavor. I’ll make again!
Added jalepeno and onion. So easy!
I love this recipe! Simple but flavorful!
So good and easy! A real winner for a busy night
