I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the rice was a little mushy. The sofrito sauce was good, but not great. I don't think I'll be making this recipe again.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the rice was undercooked. The sofrito sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This is my go-to recipe for chicken and rice. It's easy to make and always turns out great. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, and the rice is cooked perfectly. I love the sofrito sauce - it really makes the dish.
