I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I often substitute parsley in this recipe. It still tastes great.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then use it to make this dish for dinner on Monday night.

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can add different herbs and spices to change up the flavor. I've also tried using different types of rice, like brown rice and wild rice. They all work well in this recipe.
