I had some leftover rice and a green pepper I needed to use up, so I picked this recipe. It was very easy to make and it tasted pretty good. I used green onions because my wife doesn't like regular onions. With a little effort, we got our kids to eat it, even with the peppers. I think it probably needs something else -- maybe corn or peas or some other veggies and definitely more spices. But overall, it was quick, easy and tasty.

This was just so-so in my house.. Once I had the chicken and vegetables sauteed, my husband looked horrified that I was going to add soup to the mix and make it a "casserole." I stopped there, added the rice to the chicken and vegetables (sans soup) and served as-is with grated cheese and torillas. After thinking about it, adding soup to a dish like this seemed a little weird. Go for the gusto and just have them as fajitas! Cheers!

I liked this recipe, however I made a few alterations that really helped. First, I grilled strips of chicken breasts instead of cubed chicken using my George Foreman (took 5 min!) and then when layering it, I added spoonfuls of salsa over the rice. I also used cheddar instead of jack, and it worked very well. I ate mine with sour cream and extra salsa. This has a fajita casserole taste to it, which isn't my hubby's favorite thing but he liked it, especially in the times I have made it since, where I chop the peppers and onion up smaller so they're less noticeable. Even my toddler daughter eats it!

This was very tasty. But I did modify it a bit. My husband doesn't like green peppers so I just added the red. I also added half a package of fajita season mix. And about half of a cup of garlic salsa. I also did not layer the dish. I just mixed the rice with the chicken mixture. I ate mine with sour cream and extra garlic salsa. It was a bit soupy for picking up and eating. But we had fun trying and then finally gave up and used forks. I can also see this as a good base of a taco salad. I personally loved it but I doubt I will be making it again since my hubby wasn't overwhelmingly thrilled. Thanks anyways!

This was a good recipe to make. If you like your food a little spicier add a can of rotel but I couldn't because my mom can't handle spicy food.

A good basic recipe, but the eggplant tastes so much better when it's fried instead of baked! Also, take my advice and simmer a pot of homemade tomato sauce while the slices are frying/baking - it doesn't take much longer, and it tastes so much better.

I changed the recipe a little because I read the reviews that said it need something else. I used 1 1/2 lbs. of chicken and 4 cups of rice. Two cups of rice didn't seem to be enough. I still used the same amount of milk and cream of mushroom soup. The thing that made the big difference was that I added a package of taco seasoning to my chicken before I added the soup and milk. I made it a second time and added a can of diced green chilies. Sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top of the monterey jack. Try it this way and you will love it. A good recipe to play with and change around. Thanks.

It's easy, tasty and moist, and a good option for a potluck dish (served without tortillas). It even tastes good left over.

Pretty bland, needs more flavor. My son who isn't too picky didn't eat a bite.

THIS WAS REALLY EASY ONCE YOU PREPARED THE VEGETABLE. I SLICED AVACADO ON MINE. THE TIME ON THIS ONE IS A LITTLE OFF. I USED A GLASS DISH AND I CHECKED THE OVEN AT ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND IT WAS DONE. GREAT TASTE AND YOU CAN REALLY SPICE THIS UP OR LEAVE AS IS. MY FAMILY LOVED IT. THIS IS A KEEPER.
