1/4 c olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tsp orange zest
1 pkg 8-oz. pkg. yellow rice mix with seasoning packet (measure water according to package instructions taking into account orange juice as part of cooking liquid)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out very well. The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices. The chicken was also a little dry. I think I would have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.
