Mexican Chicken and Rice image

On days I get home late from the hospital, I'm glad this main dish comes together easily in one skillet. Sometimes, I make it ahead in the morning and refrigerate. It's so quick to just sprinkle on the cheese and reheat it for dinner.-Cindy Gage, Blair, Nebraska

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it. The chicken is so flavorful and the rice is cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I added some extra vegetables and spices, and it was much better. I also used brown rice instead of white rice, which made it a bit healthier.

I've tried this recipe several times and I can't seem to get it right. The chicken always comes out dry and the rice is always undercooked. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
