I did alter it a little, but my family and church members loved it. I cut up the chicken breasts and precooked a little with the onions (sauteed) as a precaution against salmonella. Added some green olives..I think mi abuela would approve. Especially because it was quick. Oh, I also used instant or parboiled rice (& its flavor packet)aka Rice a Roni, instead of plain instant rice. Hispanics, don't knock it till you try it...go head & tweak it!

Arroz con pollo made with picante and cheese!?!?! As a Hispanic, I've NEVER heard of this tradional recipe being made this way. Not to mention, sofrito isn't even mentioned which is the main base and staple of arroz con pollo. This recipe should be called Cheese Rice with Chicken.

It was okay, I made it exactly like it is called for. It was pretty bland. Needs some sort of kick. I don't think I'll make it again.

I had to alter the recipe due to what we had on hand in the kitchen and it turned out excellent. I used: rice, chicken breasts, fresh garlic minced, salt, pepper, paprika, 1 can of beef broth, 18oz jar of tomato sauce, 2 tbsp English hot mustard, 1 red pepper, 1 onion, 3 green onions, 1 can sliced mushrooms, 1 cup mexican blend shredded cheese. I baked it as followed. Plated it with shredded lettuce, ranch and salsa and it was so good!! I would make it again.

I made this for dinner tonight and followed the recipe exactly. It was very good and the chicken was tender and moist. There was only a small amount of rice left over. Will definitely use this recipe again!

This was easy, but it really lacked any flavor. I didn't have picante sauce so I used salsa. If you use salsa you may want to cut the onion as there was a lot of onion with both 1/2 cup and the onions in the salsa. I would also up the salt/spice content as this was bland with the rice. I didn't have instant rice just regular and it worked fine. I also added some capers to the mix. It was a snap to put together, but no one was that big on it. Thanks-
