this recipe is really wonderful. It gets 5 stars for ease of preparation and another 5 stars for fantastic flavor. I did follow the advice of some other reviewers, I used chicken broth instead of water, added a couple of cloves of garlic and reduced the salt for 1 tablespoon to 1 teaspoon...*****

This sort of reminded me of an easy arroz con pollo. The only thing missing were capers. First off, mine cooked in way under 1 hour. Second, I needed way more liquid. About 20 minutes in I needed to add more and again 15 minutes later. Next time I will use chicken stock and white wine (probably 2 Cups total) One cup was not enough. Using tomato sauce instead of the diced tomatoes would make it more authentic, but the diced was fine. I actually chopped mine up more into smaller pieces. Easy tasty meal...thanks!

My wife and I love this meal. We cut the salt out, and we use diced tomatoes. I love the way the green olives add flavor. pretty easy to make. We have this meal quite a bit.

The flavor was excellent. I used more green olives than called for because we love them. Used brown rice instead of white and I should have cooked it a bit before hand. My 9 year old ate as much as my husband did!

LOVED this one! I'll definitely make it again. Prepared pretty much as directed, except I didn't drain the tomatoes. Just added a little less water. The green olives add a nice tang to this dish!

I used olive oil instead of butter and added the chicken, which I diced, with the other vegetables and sauteed for a while. I only had pimento stuffed olives but it didn't matter. I also left out the salt because the olives were in brine. I partly cooked brown rice before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. This one is a keeper, thanks. I have also made this with canned tuna added in the last few minutes of cooking.

Ok, I really liked this dish. I love tomatoes and olives. My family however was less impressed. My husband (not a big tomatoe person) thought it had too many olives, and my girls only wanted the olives. I didn't cook the rice in the dish, I just made it on the side so I reduced the liquid in it. I did about 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of white wine. I think I put a bay leaf in also. Oh, and only cooked for 30 min. Didn't alter any more than that. I will make this again someday, but not as often as I would like because of family's preferences.

Added a dash of cumin to the chicken, seared the chicken before adding to sauce, and substituted canned tomato with tomato sauce. Delicious. Excellent on pasta.

This was good! Very juicy chicken. I read other reviews and omitted the salt. I wish I hadn't though. I think it would have been better with it. The sauce was still very watery after the rice and chicken were done cooking so I added some minute rice to absorb the excess moisture. It worked great!

This recipe was incredible! I added fresh chopped garlic and instead of water, I used chicken broth and white wine. I don't eat rice, but partner does, so she made rice on the side and I just ate the mixture and the flavor was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

Loved it! The green olives are just a treat in this chicken and rice dish. I portioned this out into individual portions and froze them for later consumption. Freezes beautifully and makes a great, quick lunch. I will make this again!

This would have been really good however the rice was not done in 1 hour and I had to keep adding water in order for the rice to cook which took away from the flavor that it was intended to have. I will try this again but start the rice first and wait until the rice is almost done then add all the ingredients.

This was so easy and so tasty. Used diced tomatoes and broth instead of water. Make sure to push the chicken down in to the rice mixture while cooking so that flavours permeate the meat. A little crushed red pepper would spice it up a little.

Like another reviewer I used pasta instead of rice. It came out great other than being way too salty even though I used about half what was called for. I'd suggest adding salt at the table instead of in the recipe. The olives have enough of a salty flavor to do the dish justice. I'll make this again, but without so much salt.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! I served it on top of penne pasta (no rice and of course less water then) and it was fabulous! My husband even liked it and he is a plain old red meat and potatoes kind of guy. I will definitely make it again!
