This recipe is really good. A definite keeper. DH added chunky hot picante sauce to his at the table and pronounced it a 5*. DS and I preferred it without the picante sauce. It has a light lemon/savory flavor. I did use regular long grain rice and adjusted the liquid and cooking time accordingly, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Thanks for sharing.

What a great weeknight meal when you have spent all day at the office and want to cook something quick. I substituted the chicken breast with boneless chicken thigh meat (hubby prefers it) and I didn't have any peas on hand so I added chopped green peppers along with the carrots, onions and garlic. Otherwise I followed the recipe as written. A nice, simple, easy meal. Thanks for sharing it!
