Made these and served them on a wheat tortilla - fantastic... - 2/24/14

Made this the other night and it was delicious! Husband wasn't too sure about chicken & rice on a bun but even he admitted it was very good. The rice taste seems to disappear and it just tastes like sloppy joe. Will definitely make again. - 1/7/14

This is surprisingly good. The mixture is thicker than most sloppy joes so we put it on sandwich thins. We also left out the salt and it didn't taste bland. - 2/25/14

This is one very carb-heavy entree. Obviously, Uncle Ben's is a sponsor. - 2/25/14

I thought it was delicious! Didn't have any Worcestershire sauce though. - 2/23/14

Very good. I just made the rice from scratch. Even the kids loved it! - 4/2/14

Will make this and serve w. some green veggies instead of on a bun. I will also cut out half the rice so that it's not so carb heavy. I'm sure it will taste great on a night when you want something a little different. :) - 3/21/14

Loved the idea of a lighter, healthier sloppy joe, and the overall flavor was surprisingly good. But this recipe seemed to call for WAY too much rice, which ended up overwhelming the chicken and everything else. Will try cutting back on the rice next time for a slightly meatier, saucier taste. - 3/3/14

Loved the texture of the rice. Like them even better by themselves. - 2/27/14

May be quick, but not very healthy

I understand the concept of cutting down on fat but rice on bread? That doesn't sound good to me. - 2/25/14
