I've made this recipe several times now for my family and they all really like it. A good simple weekday dinner. However, I don't add the red pepper till the last 5 min when the dish is standing, since I don't it them to be mushy, which they will be if added before boiling. Browning the rice as the recipe calls for keeps the rice from clumping when cooked. This recipe is even easier when precooked chicken strips are used.

Very Good Meal!

Yes, very easy to make but, as written, it is extremely bland. Parsley was the only herb or spice and, when I tasted it before serving, I felt like it needed more of something. Had to add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. A little crunch would have been nice too .... maybe water chestnuts or celery. It's a good basic recipe with a lot of potential and I might make it again, but not as written without adjustments.
