recipe reviews for:

Arjun's Lime Chicken Rice

“Tomatoes are cooked together with jalapenos, chicken and turmeric powder to create an exotic flavored rice pilaf. Arjun's Lime Chicken Rice is a colorful dish that can be served with chicken, or even by itself, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. The piquant flavors blend into the rice perfectly. A delicious and delightful dish, meant for one and all!”

easy and tasty. i'm a fan of one-dish meals as i have little time to cook so instead of cooking the chicken separately i threw it in with the rice and added a little extra chicken broth. tasted wonderful!

My friends all liked this dish a bit, I wasn't so crazy about it. It was full of flavor and smelled really good but just wasn't my taste. Something was overwhelming... maybe the jalepeno? I only put a quarter of what the recipe called for since I don't handle spice all that well, and still it seemed like the jalapeno smothered the turmeric, garlic, and lime. It is a really pretty dish when its done, very festive and colorful.

I thought this was a pretty good dish, unfortunately the rice didn't turn out well, so that affected my rating. Overall though the chicken was very refreshing.

This was easy to make and was fresh tasting. I substituted turkey for the chicken breasts and it was fine. Served with the Beautiful Salad recipe and crusty bread for a delicious easy meal for company!

How such tasty ingredients could combine to make such a tasteless dish. Eatable but barely (I followed the recipe exactly). Threw the rest out. Sorry, won't be making this again.

I really enjoyed this recipe and will be making it often in the future. The only things I did differently, just to cut the cooking time down, was to use Uncle Bens Ready Rice with Brown and Wild rice. I then used just enough water and chicken stock to make it a little thinner than the consistency that I wanted (because it will thicken slightly). No need to boil the rice for the twenty some minutes. I also only used 1/2 of a lime and that was plenty since I wasn't boiling any extra off.

We loved this and make it weekly. The only thing I do different is add buttermilk to the marinade overnight to make it juicy. We also grill the chicken. Great recipe!

This was simply FANTASTIC! I read the reviews and was a bit skeptical after reading the previous one but then I went ahead anyway. The flavors blend in beautifully and everyone in my family loved it! I think you should use your judgement while preparing as it is quite a flexible dish. I added peas and julienned carrots to make it look more colorful. Its a must keep in my recipe box!

All those flavorful fresh ingredients, and this just tastes awful when it's done. I followed the recipe exactly. It turns out to be bitter, tasteless, moldable paste. No one would take more than a forkful. I am SO disappointed! If you DO make this, be generous with the salt.

We absolutely loved this recipe. It tasted like we had went out to an Indian Restaraunt. I made curry vegetables as a side dish, even though this chicke dish is an entire meal in itself. Thank you for sharing.

Great dish! I made double the amount, because I wanted to put 2 chicken breasts... and now we'll be eating it all week :) We ate it with chicken on the side, but I think it can definately be a dish on it's own. The cilantro gives it a nice light taste... we both loved it.

Wow, the texture and flavor of this rice is outstanding. I did not make the chicken that goes along with the recipe. I did not have turmeric, but just added a few dashed of curry powder and added 2 cups of chicken broth and 1/2 cup water. Very creamy and extremely flavorful!

This recipe was wonderful. However, I made one main change. My husband is not a rice lover, so I substituted orzo pasta. For those of you who have the same situation, or for a nice change of pace, here's how: Just use 1 cup uncooked orzo and one can of chicken broth. No more liquid needed, and keep the rest of the recipe the same, cooking for approx. 15-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. The previous reviewer didn't know what to serve it with but I think any chicken recipe would do. I made Easy Honey Mustard Chicken w/ Mozzarella and the flavors melded perfectly. Since I was making chicken, I ignored the chicken part of this recipe, making it much less time consuming. This was a winner!

YUM YUM YUM. I loved this rice. I just didnt know what to serve with it..I tried a pumpkin/bean/spinach coconut based curry but it didnt really match... This might be good as a cold/warm rice salad.
