Reviews
I substituted a few things according to what I had at the house, instead of cayenne and regular tomatoes, I used a can of rotel and corn. I also cooked the rice by itself with the juice from the rotel, the W sauce, an extra cup of water, and all the seasonings. After the rice was cooked then I added it after the meats and vegetables were cooked together. It was delicious. A little mild which is perfect for kids, but I'll probably use an extra can of rotel next time for me and hubby. Delicious.
Delicious!!! I didn't have parsley, substituted cilantro instead. Also added some corn. Only used chicken and sausage, as our daughter can't eat fish. It was very good!!! Gonna add some shrimp on side for hubby next time :-)Beware of the heat, I used less then 1/4 tsp of cayenne and it was HOT!!! I ended up dumping out some of the liquid, that really helped!Next time I am going to make some corn bread with it! This is a keeper in our family!
Very yummy. Disappeared very quickly. Will definitely make thus again.
I am giving this a 5 for the flavor. It was simple to put together. I made it as directed and with Kielbasa. My problem was the rice. I did just use plain white and it didn't cook well. So for that part my review would be a 3. I will still make again and try a different brand of rice. The recipe is a keeper!
excellent, I didn't have the tomato, and added cheese!
I too made this with ham instead of chicken and did not put in cayenne due to my young children. Yummy!
