I absolutely loved this recipe. I cooked the chicken in Italian dressing, and used brown rice which takes longer to cook, adding the rice when chicken was no longer pink along with the chicken broth and cooked for a while before adding the veggies. I also put a little water. I added seasonings such as garlic powder, italian seasoning, black pepper and added some grated mozzarella cheese on the top at the very end.

I loved this!!! Thought it was really good. My 5 year old didn't care for it, and it wasn't my boyfriend's favorite, but I'm the cook, so I'll be making it again ;) I think 5 minutes might have been too long to cook after the rice was in because mine got kind of dry and stuck to the bottom of the pan. Might just add a bit more broth and check on it sooner next time.

I made this the first time when I had friends coming over for dinner and it turned out amazing. I prefer to make the rice separately and then add the chicken and the veggies. Either way this is one of my favourite recipes. The flavours are so good together and the colours are fantastic!

Decent recipe, good for weeknights. I cooked my chicken with garlic & onions & italian seasoning. Added a bit more flavour. Good go-to meal if you're in a pinch!

followed the recipe for the most part but added a few italian spices and a little white wine, the basic recipe could be mixed with any taste you prefer, I found this quick, easy and tasty.
