Yum Yum! A few minor changes. I took the advice of another reviewer and mixed in a packet of taco seasoning with the (wheat)flour for flavor. I used onion powder instead of onion (hubby prefers), zatarains yellow rice (box, it was all i could find), I omitted the tomatoes (sis prefers), only used the pinto beans (and did not drain, to add more liquid for the rice), used a 'bunch' of cilantro, and cumin and chili powder instead of the cayenne. When it was all done I sprinkled some mexican cheese on top, it looked so pretty! i took a picture, i will upload soon. Hubby requested black beans next time, he said it would go better with the meal and sis said maybe some tortilla strips or crumbles would be nice on top so i will try that next time. My three year old ate two servings!

This picture doesn't do the recipe justice. This was wonderful. I served to a lady from Costa Rica and she said it tasted just like home. My 5 year old son loved it too. I left out the chili peppers and we served them on the side. Great leftover too. I will definatly make this again.

My husband and I both loved this recipe. I halved it because there were only the two of us to eat it. I could have quartered it and still had enough for leftovers for days. I did not change a single item! Loved it. Will be making it again tonight!!

Sorry, this was only OK. I followed the recipe exactly except didn't have pinto beans. Towards the end of cooking, I tasted it and then adjusted the seasonings accordingly -- added a little cumin and some curry powder. This helped, but still just didn't have the flavor I had hoped for. The good part was that my sons and husband ate it with no objection, which was in itself a success.

This recipe is fabulous! The chicken was very tender, and the rice mixture was so good! I was surpised at how spicy it was since the only thing really spicy in the ingredients was the cayenne pepper. My husband and I both loved it. The only changes I made was using an orange pepper instead of a red one since that's what I had on hand, and using instant white rice rather than yellow. I plan to make this often!

Totally delicious! Fiancee went back for seconds. He said it was 'totally awesome'. I only used two chicken breast halves, cut into bite size pieces. I also only used 1/2 cup frozen corn. Other than that I followed the recipe as is. This does make a ton of food though. Be prepared for leftovers unless you're a family of 6 good eaters. We're planning on putting this in tortillas with salsa tomorrow. Excellent easy dinner!

The recipe smelled wonderful until I added the beans. The chicken lacked flavor. Overall, I would recommend adding more of your personal favorite seasonings. The taste was almost bland, despite all the veggies.

My brother and I cooked this last night for our parents and it was DELICIOUS! I pretty much followed the recipe exactly except for exchanging green pepper for red since that's what we already had around. The cilantro and the green chilies really gave it a wonderful flavor. It was so easy to make, even a total novice chef like me didn't mess it up! I am totally going to make this again and again! Thanks!

This is fabulous! Made it for dinner tonight, with a few changes, and it is a new family favorite. Very easy 1 skillet recipe! I agree with those who cubed chicken for easy cooking/serving. We didn't have the exact ingredients, and wanted to halve the recipe, so we used corn with peppers/Mexicorn, diced tomatoes with jalapeno (for a little kick), no green chiles, just 1 can of black beans, and 2 very large chicken breasts. This fed 2 adults 2 servings, and we have just under half left over.

Wow - This recipe is awesomely yummy! I made a few changes like adding 1/2 pkg Pace taco seasoning into the flour the chicken is dredged in (I also put a little into the rice mixture), only used 1 can black beans (this is to compromise with my non-bean loving husband) and cutting back on the tomatoes (for my non-tomato loving daughter). I used white basmati rice instead of the rice mix. I served with a little grated Colby-Jack melted on top. Thanks so much for this recipe, I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

very simple, great flavor. My 2 year old even ate it. I used long-grain white rice, added extra water, & it was still crunchy after simmering for 1 hour. Next time, I won't drain the beans, corn, or green chilis for the extra liquid.

I used fresh tomatoes (8 plum) and added yellow curry powder. Everyone loved it! I don't think the flour on the chicken made any difference, will make it without it next time.

Good recipe. Substituted brown rice for the yellow rice. Had to cook a bit longer and add a little more chicken broth. Just diced my chicken breast and sauted in a little olive oil. Didn't dredge in flour.Good, filling and pretty healthy. will make again. thanks!

I made this for my boyfriend and me, and we both had second helpings. I didn't have any beans, so I left them out. I used a green pepper instead of red, and only about half the cilantro, and I didn't have any cayenne pepper. I added fresh corn, which was a delicious seasonal touch to the meal. It was way easy (only one pot) and very tasty. My only complaint was that it didn't reheat well at all. I will make it again, probably with beans next time.

I ran across this wonderful recipe, when I was looking for a last minute idea for supper. I did have to modify the recipe some to match the items I had on hand, but the family loved it regardless. I didn't have the yellow rice, so I rinsed some white basmanti rice in water for about a minute and half and then sauteed in oil in a medium-hot skillet until golden brown. I added a can of rotel and some chicken broth to the rice and simmered until tender about 20 minutes. Meanwhile in a second pan, I cooked the onion, garlic and about a 1/2 tsp of cumin. I added 2 cans of canned chicken breast that I had previously lightly rinsed and coated with taco seasoning. Then added frozen corn, the black beans and another separate can of rotel. I warmed all the ingredients together and added the rice mixture when it was done. I didn't have cilantro, but next time I will be sure to have some because I am sure it would improve the flavor. Anyways, the kids ate it with tortillas, and told me to be sure and write this down so I could make it again. Husband loved it too and said it was about the right amount of heat for him. Thanks for this tasty and versatile recipe! Will definitely make again...

This recipe is absolutely awesome! I made it for 4 servings and by the time I was done my roommate was already checking to see if I had enough ingredients left over to make her own batch! I definitely recommend cutting down on the cayenne and chili.
