I used boneless/skinless chicken thighs for this but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Really easy to prepare, great weeknight dinner because of minimal prep. The taste was very yummy! I may try this in the crockpot next time. My family raved at how great this tasted!

This was a really tasty dish--my lover loved it. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and canned diced tomatoes with green chilis. This one is a keeper because we love Mexican dishes and this tastes quite authentic.

Wow; Incredible great recipe that I will make again and again. My changes..1 tsp cumin instead of paprika and rotel diced tomatoes with a small can of tomotoe sauce. Rice takes forever to cook in the dry air of Las Vegas so I thought the extra liquid would help and it did!

This was very good. I used Ro-Tel chunky tomatoes and boneless breasts, and it was fine. Thanks for the recipe.

I had a taste for the 'real' Spanish Rice and am I glad I searched this site. This recipe turned out so nice. I wanted to eat it all myself.

This is a great foundation recipe - it can be taylored to fit many tastes. I found it took longer to brown the chicken, but the rest of the recipe is pretty accurate. I did my own version: Substituted olive oil with canola oil; Supplemented the paprika with cumin; Used the chicken skin to flavor the rice and peppers, then discarded the skin; Supplemented the bell pepper with 3 more serano peppers; Supbtituted whole tomates & liquid with diced tomatoes & liquid; Also, I believe using my Le Cruset for this dish made it better than a regular pot. I think it will make good leftovers, too.

To make this more like my Abuela's arroz con pollo, I used a little less broth (we use about 1 1/2 cups total liquid per cup of rice) and a small packet of Goya seasoning con azafran instead of the paprika and pepper. It was great!

I thought this was a pretty good "one pot dinner", but not the best spanish rice I've had. I like more more tomatoey. I added chili powder and chopped jalepenos because I like my food spicy.

This was absolutely wonderful. I didn't have the can of tomatoes on hand so I used fresh tomatoes and a little more chicken broth than what was called for and it turned out great. I will definitely make this recipe again.

MMMM MM! My mother always made a beef spanish rice that is my ultimate comfort food. But being on a diet, I needed something I could easily control, yet not lose taste. This is it! For dieters, here's how to fix it up... use low cal margarine for olive oil, use the low fat broth, and cube up some boneless/skinless chicken breast. Other than that, this is so great. Healthy and somehow tastes like my mom's. From one Sarah to another... Thank you so much!

I thought this Spanish rice recipe was a little different, so I tried it. I used 1 tsp. hot paprika and one sweet. I also added a dash of tumeric for color and chicken breast cut up. At the end, I stirred in some Spanish olives. My family loved it and had thirds.

I needed a new Spanish Rice recipe. This was very good. I substituted chicken breasts instead of whole chicken, and used both yellow and red onion. It was delicious. Usually I have leftover spanish rice, but not this time!

This is an AMAZING dish. I was skeptical about this dish due to the dejà-vu-ness of the ingredients, but at the end, the rice and chicken came out SO flavorful. I think the secret lies in the olive oil.
