What a great dish. I hope more people try it. The combination of flavors is awesome. I use Zatteran's Spanish Rice although I'm sure most any packaged rice would work. The timing worked out great as far as the rice cooking while the chicken and spices were browning and cooking. Everyone liked it and this will definitely go in the regular rotation for evening meals. Thanks so much for posting this!
