     Wow, this was surprisingly awesome! I've had chicken and rice recipes before where the rice turned out bland, but this was so good. The chicken was super juicy, too--at least the part I got to eat. My 18 month old loved it so much he ate most of both mine and DH's portions! - 4/8/10

     Yummy, I used chicken breast because that is what I had in the frige. I have even recommended it to a friend. - 3/11/08

     One of my fave dishes! I've made it three times already and I suggest using Basmati rice and a red onion and sautéing it really well. I love that you can really use any protein you'd like. - 9/8/11

     This was delicious! Like others, I made it with brown rice, but I cooked the meat and sauce in the slow cooker, then used liquid from that to make the rice instead of water to give it the flavour of the dish. It was easier than cooking it on the stovetop and all I had to do was add a veggie dish. - 8/5/10

     This is fantastic!!!! I did add garlic to the onions and I used brown rice. I will be making this one again and again. Thanks for sharing. - 1/25/10

     I made this for my family... usually my kids are very hesitant when it comes to trying something different than the normal chicken on the grill. They absolutely loved this..infact, we had made it twice in one week because they loved it so much. It was very easy to make and very light as a meal. - 9/22/09

     Very tastey dish. I counted 1 chicken thigh as a serving, but with a vegetable and salad 1 thigh was enough. - 3/15/07

     THIS WAS AMAZING. Added extra broth, used brown rice and added garlic, like many of the other reviews. So tender and mildly sweet, but great flavor! - 7/15/12

     I used brown rice so cooked it longer. I liked it, but will cut the honey in half next time, it was too sweet for me. - 12/5/09
