I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the pictures. The chicken was tough and the rice was bland.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the chicken was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was delicious. I would recommend cooking the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
