I only had regular rice so I let it simmer at a low boil for 17minutes to cook the rice. My husband absolutely LOVED this dish! He has been asking for it ever since. I thought the chicken could use a little seasoning on it's own. Maybe salt, pepper, garlic on the skin. But overall it was a great recipe and a definite keeper!!!

Made for Spring PAC 2008. Made this for lunch for my boys the other day and they really enjoyed it. It was an easy recipe to make with ingredients I had on hand. I did use canned corn instead of frozen as we aren't big fans of frozen corn. Very good.

man, was this easy and good! i used a can of diced tomatoes w/ jalapeños instead of tomato sauce and threw in a can of black beans. DELICIOUS!

Not as fast with brown rice but just as good. Used taco seasoning recipe #38756. You could make brown rice ahead and freeze it and then it would be minute rice in the microwave.

Wonderful quick meal really does describe this! I served it with multigrain tortilla chips and sour cream. Delish! I used Recipe #2642 for the taco seasoning and substituted red peppers for the corn due to a food allergy. Delicious, quick and easy week night meal, thanks for posting.
