The first time I tried this recipe it was ok...maybe a little lackluster in flavor but I tried it again with a few tweaks. I marinated my chicken overnight in a homemade mojo. In lieu of water I used an unsalted chicken stock as well as the chicken bouillon plus added some onion and a clove of garlic to the simmer. The changes made a huge difference in the flavor and the final dish. Read More

I have made this recipe a couple of times. I followed the original recipe the first time and found it to be quite bland and dry. I also tried Amanda-Rae's version with additional spices. I am POSITIVE it is not the best thing I have ever cooked. I even added 1-1/2 red bell pepper to the Amanda recipe to try and moisten it up a little. It is still really dry, but not quite as bland. Still not a flavor rainbow, however. I think cooking it at such a high temperature drys it out. Maybe a lower setting for a little longer, for those that may want to try this? I may attempt it one more time with the bell pepper and add some cilantro or something, because I love saffron rice. But there are a LOT of recipes here that are much better. So much to cook and so little time. Frankly, I probably won't waste my time again with this bland dry recipe. Read More

Omg!!! Chicken and Rice Spanish style with a twist! Who knew boiled chicken in tons of seasons, fresh minced garlic, chicken bouillon, chicken stock mixed with red peppers, rice with saffron, olive oil and some lime baked to perfection would yield this mouth watering meal?! Here's how I played with it a tad: I used 2 cups of Chicken Stock and 3 C of water to boil with the chicken boullion. I then used red pepper and added seasoned chicken (red pepper flakes, season salt, fresh minced garlic, onion powder, pepper ). After removing chicken Instead of pouring the liquid into baking pan I added rice and olive oil to the skillet and then poured it all into the baking pan. I semi shredded my chicken on top, hitting it with a little juice of lime and into the oven. When it was ready to come out I cut up lime and viola! The best meal I've ever made! Everyone loved it!!

I thought this recipe was great & easy to make. Made mine with diced tomatoes with green chilies, plus green & red peppers, about 3/4 cup and used chicken broth and 8 chicken tenders that I cooked and then shredded. Used 2 5oz packets of saffron yellow rice. It turned out great. This is one recipe I will be making again. Read More

This came out awesome and it was so easy to make! I replaced the green pepper with green peas. This is the way I'll be cooking my Chicken and Yellow Rice from now on. Read More

Absolutely the easiest chicken and rice recipe. I did modify a few minor things to suit my tastes however over all this is a great foundation too begin. In place of water I used chicken broth too boil the chicken while boiling I added garlic powder and a garlic herb seasoning. I then added a can of mixed veggies when it was time to assembly everything and last thing is for my rice I use Mahmata (spelling is perhaps wrong ) spicy rice. Yummyyyyy:) Read More

My family including picky daughter ate this! Added red,green peppers and onions and garlic and diced tomatoes...fabulous! Read More

YES I will be making this dish again! My teenagers devoured it. I liked the helpful tips and the listed items that were on sale nearby. It made cooking so much easier. The ONLY changes I made were adding seasoning to everything (we are a little heavy handed in that area) and also keeping the rice in the oven a little longer because my oven is old fashioned.

Very easy and yummy! I added chopped onions and seasonings to the water with bell peppers before throwing in the chicken. I cut each chicken breast into thirds and later into smaller pieces after cooking to absorb max flavor. Added rice right into the broth with olive oil and stirred well. Let everything simmer stove top in a covered pot - didn't use oven. Served with some Lebanese garlic sauce - perfect! Read More
