I'm not a big fan of rice, but I loved this dish. The chicken was so flavorful and the sauce was amazing. I would definitely make this again, even if I served it over pasta or potatoes instead of rice.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish still turned out delicious!

The recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great. However, I found that it needed a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I made a few modifications to the recipe to suit my taste. I used brown rice instead of white rice, and I added some black beans and corn to the mix. It turned out really well! This recipe is very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking
