I made this dish last night and it was amazing! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy. The peas added a nice pop of color and sweetness.

I was really disappointed with this recipe. The rice was mushy and the chicken was dry. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This Spanish rice was a delicious and easy weeknight meal. I loved using peas as a substitute for green bell peppers. I found the amount of vegetables in the recipe was perfect, so the dish wasn't too heavy.
