This is delicious! A bit on the spicy side, but very tolerable. This is a VERY easy dish to make, and only dirties one skillet...hardly any clean up! I

The cheese sauce was a bit too thick, but overall this dish was pretty good.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of chicken and rice dishes, but this one was actually really good. The chicken was tender and the rice was cooked perfectly. The cheese sauce was also very flavorful.

Just made this for dinner and it was a success! The chicken was moist and the rice was fluffy. The cheese sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but that's an easy fix.

I made this dish last night and it was so easy and yummy! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the cheese sauce was nice and creamy.
