    Yummy and a hit with the family. I changed the rice to one cup and this worked just fine. We had torilla chips and sour cream on the side. We will definitely make this again.

    My rice did not cook at all. I don't know what I did wrong. The chicken was fully cooked, but the rice was raw and crunchy. I ended up scooping all of the rice out of the pan, and adding 1/2 cup of water and boiling on the stovetop in a pot for 10 min to cook the rice. I can't figure out what I did wrong.%0d%0a%0d%0aThe meal was delicious though. Very filling.%0d%0a%0d%0aAlso, if the website makers are reading this. I absolutely HATE that this meal is nutritionally portioned into 6 portions, when you are clearly making it for 4 people (ie. Use 4 chicken breasts). I guess we are supposed to tell people, "wait a minute, you need to give 1/3 of your chicken to someone else". I found this recipe by searching for meals under 350 calories per serving. I guess that is how they made it fit. Not that it isn't good and healthy, I just wish that they could put the actual calories that a normal person would eat by having this meal.

    My whole family loved this. I tried 1/2 cup of salsa Verde and 1/2 cup of salsa it was good. This was a big hit with the family too.
