Mexican Rice with Chicken image

This skillet supper comes together with leftover cooked chicken and a packaged mix. After I prepared this rice, I served the extras on tortillas with cheese and sour cream the next day. Both meals were a hit. -Debra Rzodkiewicz, Erie, Pennsylvania

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by using less chili powder. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I liked the addition of the vegetables, but I would have preferred more. Ove

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and dry, and the rice was mushy. I also didn't like the addition of the vegetables. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry, and the rice was a bit bland. I also didn't like the addition of the corn and black beans. I think this recipe would be better if it had more flavor.
