Cubano Chicken Rice Bowls With Bananas image

Simple, tasty, and off the beaten track from regular rice bowls. Assembly takes moments and everything can be prepared in advance and frozen. Easily prepped, frozen, and microwaveable with the exception of the bananas and garnish. Also, can be arranged without the chicken for a nice vegetarian meal. Great dish for Chinese takeout leftover rice!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken that I used and it worked perfectly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it right next time.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still very tasty.

I made this dish in a slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm allergic to bananas, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still very flavorful and delicious.

I didn't have any bananas on hand, so I used plantains instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler Cuban dishes in the future.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors were still good. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
