One Skillet Cheesy Chicken and Rice image

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

I'm not a big fan of one-skillet meals, but this one was actually really good. The chicken was flavorful and the rice was cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again.

This was the best one-skillet cheesy chicken and rice I've ever had. The chicken was tender and juicy, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the cheese sauce was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. It turned out great! I also added some chopped broccoli and carrots to the rice.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use it up.
