This recipe is now going to be a staple in my house. Everything in it I already have on hand so it's perfect for nights that I don't have a lot of time. I've made this recipe as is and with some variations and it's great both ways. I've added 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1 can sliced black olives and double the garlic. YUM! Thank you Carol!

This was pretty good. I followed the recipe to the tee. It did not taste like it does when I order it. I think I will try it again with a little of tweeking.

Made this for my cooking club where the theme was comfort food with a twist. The recipe on it own was a great, easy dish, however, I did make slight adjustments. I boiled my chicken in a dutch oven with adobo seasoning for an hour on low-medium then shredded the chicken. I placed the chicken on a paper plate then sauted the veggies, added the rice (which I used Vigo yellow rice), added two extra cloves of garlic and a tsp of cumin. When the rice had 5 minutes cooking time left I added the shredded chicken. After this, it was 5 stars!

So yummy - just like restaurant food. Healthy and cheap - we calculated $3.25 per serving. We will put this recipe into our regular rotation. Thanks Carol!

This is a latin dish and each latin country makes it in a different way. I did have before the Colombian version of this recipe and it was really good, it does not have any tomatoes so tha's why I omitted it. I cooked the rice by itself, sauted the onion/garlic/vegetables (carrots and red bell pepper) in a different pan and used leftover of a roasted chicken, this way the vegetables were nice and crispy. Thanks!

Made this on Cinco de Mayo for my husband and sister. It was quite good, and they absolutely loved it. I had planned on leftovers for the next night's dinner, but we only had enough for one lunch! I added cumin as others suggested.

I could tell by reading this that it was going to be too bland for our taste, but a VERY GOOD jumping off point! For people who like more plain food, you will like this as written. I added 1/2ts each onion powder, cumin and chili powder and 1/4ts cayenne. Also, chopped up a stalk of celery, a whole vidalia onion, mushrooms. Threw it all in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours total. Halfway in I added a drained can of black beans and 1c frozen corn. Mixed 1tb Masa into 3/4c heavy cream and stirred it in. Served with sour cream, chopped avocado, tomato, squeezed lime juice over, salt and pepper... FABULOUS!!!

Very good... works well if you substitute one pound of ground chicken or turkey (browned w/ paprika and spices like recipe, then added onions and peppers, et all and sauteed all together, added wine and broth then continued with recipe as written).

I've made this two times and then I found the "Easy Paella" recipe on this site and made that. I found that I liked different things about both recipes, so I combined them. I think the Paella recipe had better seasonings and used sausage. While the Arroz con Pollo recipe uses tomatoes for an authentic flavor. I basically made this recipe, but seasoned it according to the Paella recipe and used smoked Hillshire farm sausage in addition to chicken. I also found it needed more liquid to cook correctly (for 1 cup of rice) so I added 1 cup of v-8 juice in addition to broth and wine - and I omitted the tomatoes. combining the two recipes gives the best of what both have to offer! Hope this helps!

I loved how this recipe was so easy and uncomplicated. I substituted brown rice instead of white rice and it still turned out very well! (Just another suggestion for anyone who would like an healthier option.)

AMAZING! Have made it quite a few times now changing it to what I have in the house (always adding more cumin than asked for, my fave spice!). This recipe is a winner every time. Best part is my hubby said its better than his mothers, who is from Panama!! I am sure he wont let her in on that, lol

Nothing bad, but nothing special. Couldn't single out the taste of the white wine so in my mind it's a waste of white wine.

This is a great recipe! I buy the Mahatma (sp?) saffron rice and omit the saffron. Just make sure the rice gets done. Yummy!

My wife and I both enjoyed this. The kids were not crazy about it. I used spanish paprika rather than plain paprika for a smokey taste. I added 1/4 tsp of both cumin and chipotle powder for a little heat. Could have increased just a bit. After adding rice and liquids, I added chicken back into pot for the simmering time. Next time, I'll add chorizo as well.

I loved this recipe! It was super quick and easy to put together. It also makes excellent leftovers. It showed it on it's on to server, but I had tortillas on hand so I went ahead and served it with that. My Husband does construction so having a little more carb for him is ideal:) Hope u enjoy it as much as we did.
