This was excitingly different! Very great tasting recipe! I added raisins and can probably add cranberries also for a slight change to this! Wonderfully good~! Our 4 yr. old Daughter liked it also! -
This is a GREAT recipe! I made it for supper last night and my husband and I both loved it. I used three chicken breasts instead of six; I think using six would require a little more rice and perhaps more of the spice mixture. Also, I had to increase the cooking time by 15 to 20 minutes in order to bring the rice to the right consistency. Otherwise, PERFECT recipe. It is already a favorite of ours! -
we really liked this recipe. thanks for the great food! -
Quick, easy and very tasty, made exactly as recipe stated and it turned out very nicely. Good one pot cooking recipe, very handy to have on file. Thanks for posting xx -
Sorry, but we didn't like this dish. The chicken was tasty but the rice wasn't. I used brown rice. I think that the orange juice made the rice too sweet for my taste.Sorry!
