I couldn't say who loves this recipe best, because it gets raves every time I serve it! Occasionally I even get a phone call or email from a friend requesting the recipe, and it's certainly a favorite for my grown children and 15 grandchildren. -Maryalice Wood, Langley, British Columbia

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs. However, the chicken was cooked perfectly and the rice was fluffy. Overall, it was a good dish, but it could have been better.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the chicken came out dry and the rice was mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I was very disappointed with this dish.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. The chicken was cooked well, but it lacked flavor. The rice was also a bit bland. I think this dish could be improved by adding more spices and herbs.
