this was really excellent! I browned the chicken first mainly because I misread directions or got a bit confused doing too many things at once. so a good bit of seasoning wound up sticking to fry pan. but it was absolutely delicious. I used a tablespoon or 2 of sugar not the full 1/4 cup. and alot more chicken broth, i added a cup to the tomatoes while cooking the chicken, then added more broth as needed while cooking the rice. this really was excellent!!!!
