Mexican Rice with Chicken image

This skillet supper comes together with leftover cooked chicken and a packaged mix. After I prepared this rice, I served the extras on tortillas with cheese and sour cream the next day. Both meals were a hit. -Debra Rzodkiewicz, Erie, Pennsylvania

Not bad! This recipe is pretty good, but it's not the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The rice was a bit mushy, and the chicken was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
