I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but the dish turned out terrible. The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy. The margarita sauce was also very bland.

This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was burnt and the rice was undercooked. The margarita sauce was also very watery.

This dish was okay. The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was good. The margarita sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder sauce. The chicken and rice were cooked well, though.

This dish is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love the combination of flavors in the margarita sauce. It's tangy, sweet, and a little bit spicy. The chicken is always cooked perfectly and the rice is always fluffy.
