The meat was moist and tender and the flavor was great. I did add a little garlic powder but I think next time I will just add a few cloves of garlic. Also a little lemon would be wonderful. I did cook it for 1 hour at the end and some of the rice was not done. I think it would be better to precook the rice and then add at the end. I will definitely make this again.

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
