I loved the rice in this recipe with the lemon and spinach. I didn't have the instant so had to cook my about 30 minutes according to the package and it was still a little on the hard side. I also added a little more lemon to my serving and some salt and pepper. So, so good. The chicken I seasoned a little more than just the garlic. I added a good helping of pepper a tad of salt and a little season salt. The garlic was delicious and I put it on top of the chicken to cook. I only had chicken breast which I adjusted the cooking time for. I will definitely make this one again. Thanks. Made for Spring 2012 PAC

I try to eat home-cooked meals more often than not. Dishes need to be "leftovers stable" and easy to do in an hour or less. More than an hour and my attention span fades!
