The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.57 star rating.

I used tomato sauce instead of diced tomatos, so perhaps that is where this went wrong. It didn't taste very flavored at all. I probably would not use this recipe again.

Very easy and surprisingly delicous! I used fresh diced tomatoes, left out the picante sauce, and added a can of black beans. Next time, I will double the spices for a little more flavor. Will make again!

Really great recipe, my husband loved it! I change a couple things though, I just cut up the chicken and cooked everything in the skillet. I also used diced tomatoes with green chiles, we like it spicy :o) Overall, really yummy!

This dish is delicious, but I put in a lot of shortcuts. I cubed the chicken before I browned it, then I just simmered everything in the large saute pan. I omitted the picante sauce and olives and just served it with cheese sprinkled on top. My kids loved it!!!

Great recipe - the chicken is tender and moist and the rice is bursting with flavor! Just a few tips on preparation: I brine the chicken breasts in cool salt water in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before baking. I also dredged them in flour/salt/pepper before browning them in the oil. Finally, it took more water than the recipe called for in order to get the rice sufficiently tender and fluffy. ENJOY!

I did chop up the chicken but kept the base of the recipe the same. Was a big big hit.

Really this was 3 and 1/2 stars. I agree with everyone else...this meal was really quick to prepare...so there is where it gets a 4. The taste was good...not amazing.

I give it 5 stars for ease of preparation and taste- perfect for a quick weeknight meal. My whole family loved it. I actually doubled the spices and used chicken broth instead of bouillon. It was awesome. It took no time at all to put together. I did shake the chicken in a ziploc with some flour and salt and pepper before browning. Yum!

Made this tonight for my husband and his friend. They loved it. Left out the cinnamon and the pecante sauce and cooked a little differently. I made the rice separately because I made yellow rice. Cut the water and chili powder in 1/2. My husband said it was delicious - which is big because he hates green peppers!

This is a great recipe for a quick week night meal. I like to add a little more chili powder and cumin for my taste. The chicken and rice always come out perfectly cooked for me.

Only giving this 4 stars as I didn't care for the cinnamon. Will make again, without the cinnamon next time. Boiled the rice in the chicken broth for about 10 minutes and then baked for 30 minutes. Chicken was juicy and rice was tender. Added a dollop of sour cream, which covered up the cinnamon taste but also added some nice flavor to the chicken.

My husband loved this! I found the flavors very interesting and the dish as a whole satisfying but next time I will try it without the cinnamon and cumin and up the chili powder to 1 1/4 teaspoons. The cheddar cheese combined with cinnamon and cumin was unusual to me. I prefer these spices in a curry, moussaka or a vegetable dish like ratatouille.

SO Good! I used 5 min rice as directied in this recipie and it fluffed up nice. I had no problems with it not cooking in the time the recipie states. VERY easy and VERY yummy. I did not have the chicken bullion (or even chicken stock), but I did have some left over tommatow soup and I used that. Turne dout great. The cinnimon in the rice was good too. I wouldn;t think the little bit of sweet with go with the spicer taste of the dish, but it was GOOD! Definatly would recommend this!

Just three stars because this meal took SO long to cook. I used brown rice, which takes a little longer than white, but I had to leave it in the oven for an hour and 20 minutes for it to be edible. That makes this a very time-consuming dish and not one I would make regularly. Despite this, the dish turned out pretty good. I didn't think the small amount of spices would be enough but it was actually just right. I did use chicken stock instead of bouillon, and added some peas, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. It's good, but probably not good enough to be worth the wait, in my opinion.

Delivers on its promise to be quick and tasty. Fantastic! I cut out the olives and onion and added a bit more garlic, as well as 1/2 a red pepper, chopped. I will definitely make this again!
