recipe reviews for:

Arjun's Lime Chicken Rice

“Tomatoes are cooked together with jalapenos, chicken and turmeric powder to create an exotic flavored rice pilaf. Arjun's Lime Chicken Rice is a colorful dish that can be served with chicken, or even by itself, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. The piquant flavors blend into the rice perfectly. A delicious and delightful dish, meant for one and all!”

We did not care for this recipe. My daughter's favorite meal is Tikka Masala and I was looking for an Indian rice dish to pair with it. Lime, cilantro, and jalapeno do NOT work well together for my family. 15 min prep time is far underestimated.

Freaking love this. I made it for dinner tonight and it's a delight. I love the tang of the lime with the hotness of the jalapeno. It's just wonderful.

Very flavorful but you should really like cilantro because it dominates. Was confused by qty of chicken so I used 3 breasts and amount of marinade was good; short on time so only marinaded for a couple hours. Made brown rice seperately & combined everything at the end, no chicken stock or bay leaf needed. Used 1 jalapeno & left the seeds in so came out plenty spicy. Juice from one lime wasn't enough, next time I'd use 2. Great recipe to give boring old chicken a boost!

This dish was ok. I liked the pizzaz the cilantro brought to it but I wish I could have tasted the lime a bit more. Maybe next time I'll add in more.

This dish tasted amazing! I have never cooked with tumeric before this and thought I would give this recipe a try, so glad I did! My husband came home from work and could smell all these wondeful flavors before he was even in the house!

I made only the rice and I added 2 more servings to the original to make it for 6 people. I was delicious! The only thing I would watch is the jalapeño. Depending on your level of tolerance I could've used 1 pepper and still had the flavor without a lot of spice.

This recipe was great, but I doubled the lime juice and the chicken stock... because I didn't like that there wasn't much liquid... i kind of made it into a soup. But I loved the recipe.

easy and tasty. i'm a fan of one-dish meals as i have little time to cook so instead of cooking the chicken separately i threw it in with the rice and added a little extra chicken broth. tasted wonderful!

My friends all liked this dish a bit, I wasn't so crazy about it. It was full of flavor and smelled really good but just wasn't my taste. Something was overwhelming... maybe the jalepeno? I only put a quarter of what the recipe called for since I don't handle spice all that well, and still it seemed like the jalapeno smothered the turmeric, garlic, and lime. It is a really pretty dish when its done, very festive and colorful.

I thought this was a pretty good dish, unfortunately the rice didn't turn out well, so that affected my rating. Overall though the chicken was very refreshing.
