Chicken and Rice Mexican Style

"I'm sure somewhere along the way someone else created this recipe. I was bored with plain chicken, etc so I decided to "spice it up" and add some mexican flair to it."

  1. This was really good. I would have given it 5 stars, but the recipe doesn't say what kind of rice (minute, long grain, etc.) to use. I used long grain brown rice since that I what I had in the house and had to increase the cooking time by about 15-20 minutes. Other than that, it was great. I will make it again.
     
  2. This is a favorite at our house...I cut up the chicken breasts and also add the frozen corn and usually a can of black beans-drained. I like to vary the types of salsa used also....very easy to throw together cover and bake in a hurry
     
  3. This was an excellent dish. Like another reviewer, I added about 1 1/2 cups of frozen corn and it really rounded out the recipe. This recipe has been added to my 'Zaar cookbook!
     
  4. This was very good. I needed a last minute idea for my chicken and this fit the bill. Thanks for a very easy and good dinner!
     
  5. Super easy to make for a beginner cook, I also added 1/2 cup corn and 1/2 cup blackbeans to add to the Mexican flare.

I had to drop out of culinary school in the summer of 2006 to have the first of two back surgeries. I still love to cook, however it takes a lot out of me physically to do so. I'm learning to make a lot of simpler recipes that are tasty.
