I'm on a low-carb diet, so I substituted cauliflower rice for the regular rice in this recipe. It turned out great! The cauliflower rice added a nice nutty flavor to the dish.

I made this dish in my slow cooker, and it turned out amazing! The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again in my slow cooker.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, so I substituted oregano in this recipe. It turned out great! The oregano gave the dish a nice earthy flavor.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I usually make a big batch of chicken on the weekend, and then I use it to make this dish during the week. It's a quick and easy way to get a healthy meal on the table.

This dish was very easy to make, but it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The chicken was a bit dry, and the vegetables were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and salt, and it was much better. I would recommend adding some extra seasoning to this recipe if you like your food flavorful.
