This turned out great. I've given the recipe to a few friends who have said the same after making this dish. Great flavor!

This is amazingly good and simple. I used 8 thighs instead of breasts only because we prefer dark meat. Great easy casserole dinner.

This was really good. However, I just used normal chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon, I replaced a few of the dried herbs with fresh, I threw in a little more spinach, and I squeezed in half a lemon. What I really like about this recipe is that it doesn't use any canned cream of whatever soup. The cottage cheese works great with it. But, the one complaint I have is it doesn't look very appetizing, getting some younger, pickier kids to eat it was a little bit of a challenge, but once they tasted it they loved it.

Surprisingly good & easy. I didn't use all of the individual spices, but used Italian seasoning instead since it had the same stuff in it, plus a bit more. Will definitely make again, it was a real hit!

Great meal - I did make a few changes: Cooked 1 1/2 cups of non-instant brown rice in veggie broth (that's what I had), added a couple handfuls of mozzarella to the mix, added one egg to the cottage cheese, and left out the cornstarch (didn't think it was really needed). I also diced my chicken before cooking it for ease. Lastly, I topped the dish with thick slices of tomatoes + parmesan for the last 20+ min of cooking. It was great - definitely a keeper. And it's ultra-amazing if you add Cholula Hot Sauce once it's served (if spicy is your thing).

This was good- and good for you (vitamins A, C, B6, Calcium, Iron & Folate)! I mixed the parmesan cheese in because I didn't read the recipe right and then added a small handleful of cheddar on top when I baked it. And, I used 1/2 cottage cheese and 1/2 plain yogurt because I didn't have enough. I cooked the rice in plain water to cut down on the sodium. I'll definitely be making this one again.

This was far from bland. Instead it had TOO MUCH flavor. The spices were just too powerful for the dish. I even cut the spice back by a third. I think it would be good with just plain chicken and maybe one seasoning.

This was an ok dish. I do not plan on making it again. The only change I made was using basmati rice instead of instant brown rice. My husband did not care for the dish either. It did smell very good while cooking though.

I cut this recipe in half, using chicken stock instead of the cubes and water. I overseasoned the chicken breasts w/ all of the spices (the house smelled great), then sauted the onion and added mushroom to the oil and spices left in the pan. Instead of parm cheese, I added Italian Crumbles cheese. My husband is not much on cottage cheese, or cheese period, but he thought this was great! Thanks for the recipe!

Made this delicious recipe for dinner last night. My southern born husband is a huge fan of highly spiced foods so I was surprised when he said this dish was perfect as is and asked that it be made in the future. I agree that those e thinking this is bland need to purchase new spices. Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe was a hit. I don't understand those who said this dish did not have enough flavor. They must have used old spices. I too used chicken broth instead of bullion. I also added a tsp of salt and some rosemary. Instead of Parmesan, I used Monteray Jack cheese. This will definitely be served again in our home.

I thought this was a very good base recipe but I did make some changes. Before I say what I changed I first want to say: thank you, Christopher, for sharing a very good recipe using chicken and brown rice. (1) Used 2-1/2 cups chicken broth instead of 2 cups water/bouillon; (2) I used regular rice, not instant, so cooked it in the chicken broth on the stovetop for about 20 mins (3) I added salt and black pepper to the chicken when I cooked it (4) I don't use margarine so did not put it on top. While the taste was great, neither I nor my family thought it looked very good and none of us would have tried it we saw it at a potluck. I will definitely make this again but will add about a cup of coarsely chopped canned tomatoes for a more appetizing appearance and sprinkle 1/2 ounce of grated cheddar on top of each serving just before I put it on the table, also for appearance sake. If you like rice, chicken, and spinach, try this. Honestly, I wasn't sure how the cottage cheese would be in it but the consistency was very, very good. Thanks again, Christopher!

It sounded promising, but totally lacked flavor. Even with all the herbs, this was so bland and boring. The cooking time seems a bit long, unless you like dried-out rice and overcooked spinach. Leftovers are in the trash, and I hate wasting food.

I liked this, and I was very sceptical of the cottage cheese, but it turned out really well. I used chicken broth instead of water in addition to the bullion cubes, so the rice had a good flavor. Next time I will substitute brocolli for the spinich, and add some crushed crutons to the top in the last 15 minutes or so. I lvoe the way the chicken turned out cooked with all those spices, and even made a couple of plain chicken breasts for later in the week with the same spices.

This recipe is a huge hit in my family. Everytime my folks come to visit, they request this dish. As with most recipes I use, I did add some things for flavor like chopped baby bella mushrooms, cheddar cheese, dashes of my fave seasonings, and soaking the spinach in seasoned water before adding it to the mixture. I also serve it with a roast chicken gravy.

I'm sorry, but I just did not care for this recipe. I was really expecting to like it a lot, mostly because I just love spinach, but was rather disappointed. I did make some changes: added some sun-dried tomatoes, substituted Marsala wine for some of the water, and used leftover turkey breast meat instead of chicken. Quite frankly, without the sun-dried tomatoes, I think the dish would have been a total loss. Other than lack of flavor, another big problem was that, after one hour in the oven, the spinach looked and tasted overcooked.
