Oh man where to start. THIS WAS GREAT! I boiled some chicken and shredded it and put it aside. I then used 2 cups of the chicken stock fom the boiled chicken and added only one cup of Jamine rice and the can of tomatoes. Cover and let cook 20-25 minutes. Then I added the sour cream and cheese and stired in the chicken. This was a complete meal with tortillas. THIS WAS AWSOME!

Very yummy! I made just one change, actually. Instead of three cups of water and chicken bouillon, I used three cups of chicken broth (about one and a half of the small cans of Swanson). Easy and tasty, the kids devoured it! If anyone has put off trying this because they're worried it's too spicy, it was very mild. If you like spicy, I'd add some chopped jalapeño. You would never guess it's so easy to make. I hope this gets some more reviews!

Oh this turned out to be sooooo good! :-) I made it exactly as written, except that I stirred all the cheese into the rice to distribute it, instead of just sprinkling on top. I also used vegetable boullion instead of chicken. It cooked up quickly and with minimal fuss, and was a great, mild (but flavorful!) compliment to our vegetarian enchiladas.

This recipe was great! I made it as directed and served it with the Swiss Enchiladas (best authentic enchiladas ever) from this site. Delicious! After serving up the rice, I found that adding a spoonful of salsa to it made it even more wonderful. I highly recommend this recipe for ease, convenience, and taste!

This was great. Used a bullion cube and used regular white rice, not instant. The addition of sour cream is what got me...I love what sour cream does to food. This went perfect with beef enchiladas. I also used Sargento's reduced fat mexican 4 cheese blend. Yum.

LOVED THIS!!! Although I made several additions and did not follow the recipe, turned out GREAT. Cook the rice before mixing all ingred. I added the following all to taste: diced roma tomatos (instead of the can of diced tomatos with green chilis), FRESH cilantro, canned green chilis, ground cumin, jalepeno salt, salt & pepper, diced red & green bell peppers, corn, and a few tablespoons of chicken boullion just for moisture (don't forget the sour cream, I used light). Mix all ingred and bake at 350 for about 20 min or until warm/hot. I used organic brown rice and if I had had a can of black beans, probably would have added it as I think it would have been extra good!!!

I made an alteration because I had a can of diced tomatoes with oregano, garlic and basil. My husband and I thought it was good. My children, however, did not care for it.

I think this would be even better with Pepperjack, Colby, and/or Monterey Jack cheese. In addition to a chicken bouillon cube, we also added a couple tsp of Mexican Adobo Bouillon granules for a great authentic flavor. Served with Southwest Chicken from this site and a spinach & tomato salad. Delicious!
