This is relatively simple to make. I used the recipe as written except I used red bell pepper instead of green and omitted the green chilies. In order for the rice to get fully cooked, I would suggest being certain to bring the liquid to a good boil first and not just a simmer. If it doesn't boil first it will need to simmer longer than 20 minutes once the rice is added. It was delicious.
