Our whole family loved this dish and it was super easy to prepare.

I used a can of mixed veggies instead of green beans. It needs a little kick for taste..we just cant put our finger on what yet though, but it was pretty good

Reviewed on Jun. 10, 2011 by dhodge

Loved it. I didn't know what to do and it was time to cook dinner, so I didn't have all the ingredients. I used marinated artichoke hearts instead of the olives and regular white rice instead of instant brown. Did add boullion to the water. Everyone loved it and we decided it would be good with mushrooms and zucchini as a side dish without the chicken. Will try that next time.

Flavor was excellent. I added 3 green onions...it made it very good!

I felt it lacked flavor but my husband liked it. I think I'd use chicken stock instead of water and add more seasoning. Definately healthy!

This recipe is quick and easy. Instead of using the canned beans (which I do not like) I used frozen vegetables.
