Great recipe. I like to try a recipe as written but I didn't have a couple of called for ingredients and made the following changes. I used 8 boneless thighs instead of breast and a can of drained Ro-Tel (tomatoes and green chills) instead of the salsa. I also used 1 cup of rice and an extra 1/2 cup of water. It came our very good. The chicken was very moist and flavorful and it was a visually appealing dish. I will definitely make again.

We loved it! It was great! We can also try just eating the rice and putting it with a different meat.

My husband and I really loved this recipe. I used a can of whole kernel corn drained instead of frozen, minute rice, and garlic powder instead of onion because this is what I had on hand. I threw in some sliced black olives too. Yummy!!

I added a drained can of black beans and more cheese, plus I chopped up the chicken per PP's advice. This was good but still a bit soupy for my taste. Next time I think I'll increase the amount of uncooked rice (I used brown) to about 1 1/4 cups and see if that helps. The taste was just what I was looking for so we will be having this again.

Quick and easy one dish meal - very little prep time, and only one dish to clean! I followed the recipe exactly. No complaints here!

Fairly basic chicken and rice with a little kick.

Very good recipe, my husband loved it! I changed it up a little too...traded the salsa for a can of Rotel (drained), traded corn for a can of black beans (drained). If I'd had frozen corn, I probably would have left it in. I cooked my rice seperately to avoid the undercooked issue. I sprinkled the cheese with garlic powder, cumin and chili powder. The chicken was cooked PERFECT, fork tender. Put the sauce over rice. Delicious!

On the dry and gummy side. Will not make again.

I only give it a 4 out of 5 because I doubled the recipe and the rice was still hard and chewy. I had to put it back in for another 45 minutes for the rice to fully cook. I also added chopped jalapenos and drizzled some Sriracha on top of the chicken to give it some kick and substituted the onion powder with garlic powder.

This is a great recipe and flexible to make some changes. I added a can of drained, rinsed black beans. I also added some chili powder, salt and pepper. Yum! Loved by the whole family, even my 1 year old.
