I didn't put this one the grill, but rather in the oven for an hour. Turned out very tasty. I grow lots of pepers, so this gave me a great chance to use them up! My fiance loved it as well. - 7/2/10

This is a great starting recipe. With varying add ons, this can be a week night go-to dinner. Easy, fast & nutrtious. - 7/5/11

I'm actually quite tempted to try this, indoors, even though I'll have to find some way round using the ready-made sauce.
I think these packets would work fine in the oven. I'll need to give it a think, to work out timings.
Thanks for the idea. - 6/30/11

sounds really good just curious why you chose half white half brown rice ? - 5/1/11

Just tried this recipe yesterday. We left out the rice to save calories but it was absolutely fabulous! I was a little concerned that it might be too sweet but it was tender and very tasty. This one's a keeper! - 7/5/10

This was terrible. The peppers came out okay, but the chicken was plain, tough, and tasteless. Won't make this again! - 7/31/12

Not a comment but a question. I do not have a grill. Could these chicken (packets) be cooked in my oven? At what temp and for how long? Thanks - 6/15/11
