I think this one is from FoodTV but I don't remember which program. The smell while it cooks will have your neighbors stopping by for a "chat". It is a real crowd pleaser. Prep. time doesn't include marinating time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The chicken was dry and the rice was mushy.
