Wish I could givethis 10 stars! This dish is both delicious AND easy. The ratio of ingrefients is right-on. (I did add more capers because I LOVE them). Great dish that will please your family. Thanks so much for sharing, MontanaSuz! -
This is a delicious recipe, but I don't understand why anyone would add salt to already salty seasoned bread crumbs. -
Incredible! I didn't add capers because we were out and served this over spaghetti. It's the first thing I've cooked in 11 years that my super-taster husband has found more than merely edible, he actually likes it! -
Great recipe. I cooked some zucchini noodles in the sauce and put the chicken on top instead of the rice.

Quick and easy, but just a little bland. I may try adding a bit of scallion, maybe garlic during deglazing and perhaps lemon zest at the end.
