Had this last night. The rice was overcooked for our taste -- next time I think I'll try brown rice. We also had to add a little extra seasoning as it didn't have quite enough "zing" as my husband says. The chicken was wonderful -- excellent flavor and very moist.

Very good but the rice was not as good as I would have hoped.

My rice was overcooked and it was way too much (1 cup of rice probably would've been better). The first hour I had the crockpot on high and I turned it down to low for the next 5-6 hours. Aside from the rice being overcooked, the rice & beans were still tasty, however, the chicken was flavorless and that is why I will not cook this again.

Also made it with breasts. Meat was very tender. Just right with the seasonings.

Loved it! It was a little spicy next time I think I'll use a little less creole spice. Either way I'd make it again. Very good.

I don't like chicken thighs so I used breast. Very good

I do this all the time, but have never tried it in the crock pot. That is a wonderful Idea for Sunday's after church. It would be ready when you got home. Thanks
