I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge, and this is the perfect way to use it up.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious!

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was mushy and the chicken was overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the chicken separately next time.
