Everyone at my house loved it! I liked it but had a tough time getting the chicken totally cooked. It was in the oven total of about 60 min and I turned the temp up to 35 after the first 25 mins elapsed and the chicken was totally raw. I really liked it though!

I thought the flavor and ease of this recipe was great, but found that when the cooking time was up, the chicken was nowhere near done. I ended up baking this dish for about 45 minutes. The chicken was done, but the rice was not. I will play around with the time next time because ulimately I did enjoy this.
