This is always the first request I get from my grown children when they return to town and it is so easy. The only tweak that I made to the original Minute Rice recipe is adding 1/2 large sweet onion, diced while browning the chicken and use low sodium taco seasoning as it seems to have a bit more spice.

I'm not giving this a star rating as I have not tried it. My copy of this recipe calls to also serve it with sour cream, if desired. The rest is the same. Thanks for posting what sounds like a good recipe! Christine (internetnut)
