I made this for dinner last night to go along with some burrito's and the end result was just ok. I found that there was way too much chicken bouillon flavor, so the rice tasted very chicken-y. I may make this again, but with less chicken bouillon.

I used regular rice instead of instant. It turned out okay, but nothing special. It just tasted like spicy rice with cheese.

This was the first recipe that I've used for rice like this. I will be using it again! I used three c. chicken broth and no water and added a little fresh cilantro. I made it for my parents and my brothers and everyone loved it! They'll all be making it too! Thanks for an excellent recipe!

I cut this recipe down for just hubby and myself. I cooked 1 pouch of instant brown rice then added the rest of the ingredients to a large bowl. If you pre-cook the rice then you need to drain the tomatoes. Ours came out a little runny but still had a good flavor.

I made the recipe in my rice cooker using 3 cups of brown rice. I cooked it in water with the chicken bouillion and a can of rotel tomatoes. After it was done, I stirred in the sour cream and about 1/2 cup of cheese and kept the cooker on "keep warm" until we were ready to eat. Served it with Spicey Fish Tacos. It was fabulous!

This is a great side dish. The rice defintely needs to be cooked in chicken broth or with bouillon. I made the mistake of cooking the rice in plain wayer the second time I made it and it really lacked flavor. When the recipe is followed, it turns out great!

very tasty! My husband liked it a lot. I think next time I will hold off on the cheese a bit. I don't think it needed any on top.

This one surprised me with its yumminess quotient. I followed another reviewer's recommendation and boiled a chicken breast to shred and add in with the sour cream and cheese. I used water from that instead of straight water in the recipe. I think I used a little less cheese too, because I was running low. Very good! My 22 month old son gobbled it up too.

This is fantastic! I didn't have the diced tomatoes, so I used 1 1/4 cup of salsa, it was awesome. You could also add a can of chicken or beans and have a whole meal in minutes!
