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.

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
