Make room in your cook book for this dish! Miss Annie uses poultry seasoning to transform a simple chicken and rice dish into an addiction. I thin sliced the carrots and mushrooms and browned the onions and mushrooms. I might add a bit more poultry seasoning next time because it enhances the the other flavors without dominating. Thank you Ann, I will make this often and share the recipe with my family and friends.

I was in one of those "I have stuff to make but don't want to make any of it for dinner" ruts, but knew I had to use up the chicken and mushrooms in the fridge, so I found this recipe. I used only 12oz of boneless skinless breast which I chopped and cooked with olive oil spray before cooking the rice mixture. I used brown rice (and had to add a bit more water as a result). I mixed in some thawed frozen spinach at the end, and now this fantastic, not-too-high-calorie dinner is ready! If I add a little cheese to it, I am sure even my picky two-old will eat it. Good stuff.

There are NO WORDS... Well, I guess I can find a few. WOW, FANTASTIC, EASY, YUMMY.... I was actually searching for a good comfort food chicken and rice recipe and stumbled across this one. Miss Annie, the other reviewers aren't kidding about your talent with the poultry seeasoning!! This was so very good and (until I read the nutritional values) I thought it was good for me. :) I will, however, be making this again and again.... I, too, had to add more salt, but I will just make that adjustment next time. Also, I put in baby Bella mushrooms and broccoli and left out the carrots. Thank you, Miss Annie!!!

Just made this tonight and it was so good! I too didn't have poultry seasoning so instead I put in some fresh garlic, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. I also added spinach at the very end once it was done cooking which added great texture and also made it look so colorful. The last thing I substituted was that I used 1/2 cup brown rice and 1/4 cup wild rice instead of the long grain rice called for and once again, it was delicious. Excellent recipe!

Just made this for my family tonight. I didn't have any mushrooms but I don't think it affected the taste at all. The only other change I made was instead of poultry seasoning I used a couple of pinches of rosemary and it really gave it a nice flavour. My family wished I had doubled the rice. This is a really tasty dish, one I will be adding to our regular weeknight rotation. Thanks for posting.
