  1. Very nice chicken and rice dish that looks and smells wonderful. For me, the herbes de provence was a little strong in flavor, so I would probably cut back a bit on that. Based on the other reviews, I reduced the amount of water to 1 1/2 cups instead of 2 cups, and the rice turned out perfectly with no leftover water in the bottom of the dish.
     
  2. I used already made brown rice to make this quick and easy (so did not add the water). It was a great weeknight meal. I followed other reviewers and halved the herbes. Next time I will also try doubling the lemon. We especially loved the veggies in this. Served 4 for us.
     
  3. We absolutely loved this dish, but I made a couple of adjustments. 2 tablespoons of the Herbs de Provence would have been overpowering for us, so I cut it back to 1 tablespoon. It was still highly seasoned, but quite delicious! I took other reviewers advice and cut the boiling water to 1 1/2 cups. This cooked up all the water, and the rice was done after 55 minutes cooking time. Thanks Boomette, for a dish I will gladly make again, and for company as well! ZWT8
     
  4. This was delicious, and so nice to have a one dish meal. The marinade was flavorful and made it super fast to toss together the next day. I marinated overnight and found that the water to rice ratio was spot on at 55 minutes cook time. Thanks for sharing! ZWT8
     
  5. This chicken was fantastic. I loved the herbs de provence. I used brown rice, so had to cook it a little longer. Next time I would partially cook the rice first to be sure the chicken does not get overdone. I would definitely make this again.
