Campbell's® 15-Minute Chicken and Rice Dinner

Most Helpful Positive Review

I used garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper (I would have used paprika too, but I was out). The key to making sure it "sticks" is that your oil is HOT. If it's not hot, only warm, the spices will "wash off"...but even with that, it still seasons the rice mixture, so that's not the end of the world! I also used 1/2 brown rice and 1/2 white rice and I think the brown rice adds more flavor.

So I have to agree with most people that the chicken is really bland. I even added a bunch of things to it before cooking because of the comments. I came to realize later that the seasons that I added were washed off while being browned in the oil (ah...duh!). So I recommend seasoning your chicken while it's cooking with the rice and broccoli. And when the recipe says brown the chicken in the oil, you really need to cook it a lot longer than browning it otherwise you might end up with really soggy broccoli and rice because you'll have to cook the chicken A LOT longer than 5 minutes like the recipe says :) (yes I'm talking with experience)

Coming from an inexperienced cook: This meal is simple to make but like all the others before I tweeked it a little. Instead of browning the chicken as whole breasts I: Cut it into strips, and in a sep. bowl I combined by sight some paprika, black pepper and garlic powder and mixed with the chicken by hand. I then browned it in the skillet and continued to cook as the recipe indicates. My chicken did not turn out that dry and "the Man of the House" said it was a keeper!
