This was very easy and pretty good. I am just not a big fan of spanish rice or I am sure it would have been better. Just needed something quick that I had all of the ingredients for. The only thing I did differently is I added a little seasoning salt to the chicken and onions (I actually used a mix of onion, yellow, red, and green peppers.. frozen) and then I topped it with some cheese. Thanks for posting!
