  A huge Hit! I have made it about 5 times so far and tweaked it a bit too.
  I often make the rice and the chicken the night before, I poach the chicken and then just shredd it. Hints: Short grain brown rice is tastiest. A big bag of fresh spinach beats frozen. Bake at 375 for @ 40 minutes at my place - 1/20/10

  I went to the olive bar at the grocery & picked up some black & green olives mixed with feta & used that in this recipe--GREAT addition. I skipped the sun dried tomatoes & used stewed NSA tomatoes; I chopped the chicken before I put it in the pan so that definitely saved some time. Wonderful recipe! - 8/22/10

  Delicious! Was so good I forgot to add the Romono cheese at the end. Used fresh spinach and it worked fine. Baked at 350 for 20 minutes at the end. My family raved and my husband said this is a "repeater!" I agree! - 1/18/10

  Really good!! Used less chicken, less rice, less olive oil, and fat free tomato basil feta. In my tracker I'm counting 8 servings as 1.5 servings of this recipe and leaving it at that. Will definitely make it again! - 2/2/10

  Freaking delicious. I also dropped the brown rice to only 3 cups and chopped up the chicken breast before cooking it. When I recalculated the calories I figured it as 7 servings for the entire casserole and it came to 288 calories! I struggle getting my protein for the day, so 25g is awesome. - 4/27/12

  Why don't you cut up the chicken BEFORE you cook it? Cutting it into bite-sized pieces is a lot easier to do before it's cooked. - 1/26/09

  Sub saltier feta w/cubes of firm tofu, mozzarella, paneer/panir (bland Indian curd cheese served w/peas or spinach) or Haloumi/Halloumi (salty crumbly cheese from Cyprus) pronounced, hah-LOO-me. Sub romano (high in fat, but sharp flavor) w/parmesan (not as sharp/salty) or Monterey jack. - 1/8/09

  Great stuff! Whole family enjoyed this. Used black olives instead of sun dried tomatoes, and added lemon juice before baking. Will probably use low fat feta next time and add extra on top instead of romano.
  Thanks for the great recipe! - 1/1/09

  I made this last night and it was delish. However I made some modifications based on what I had.
  4 cups of rice (trader Joe's frozen brown rice)
  1 small onion sliced
  1/4 cup chopped Kalmata Olives
  1 bag fresh spinach
  1 cup roughly chopped artichoke hearts (frozen TJ's)
  Omitted Sun Dried tomat - 2/8/12

  My family thought this was pretty good and went back for seconds. I didn't have any spinach on hand (which is odd), so I used chopped broccoli. I also substituted ground turkey in for chicken...just easier and it's what I had on hand. It turned out a *little* dry, so I threw in some tomato sauce :) - 1/5/11

  I left out the sundried tomatoes, but I made this today and it was so good. Also ended up substituting Parmesan for Romano cheese. I'm thinking of putting in artichokes and mushrooms next time. This dish definitely changed my mother's opinion on brown rice! - 3/1/15

  Very tasty and easy to make. This dish is one my family really enjoyed. I did spice it up a bit with some garlic powder added to the list of spices. Also, being generous with the oregano and basil made it truely Italian tasting. - 1/20/13

  I made this and even though I added more Italian spices to the recipe than I thought it was calling for it still tastes somewhat bland. I would add more spices the next time and maybe prepare the rice in chicken stock to add more flavor - 12/10/11

  This is really good and savory, but it takes a lot more time than I thought it would. One cup is not much for an entree and that caught me by surprise, so next time I need to supplement with a side salad or vegetable. - 5/19/11

  This recipe was delicious! I only made half of the recipe for my family of three and we had the perfect amount of left overs for lunch this week. One substitution I made was using Mozzarella instead of Romano (since I didn't have any) - this sold my 3 year old on the meal. - 3/14/11

  This was pretty darn good... Although I'm not the biggest fan of diced tomatoes, I still enjoyed it.
  Added celery and broccoli, but I forgot the rice - As if!
  Will make sure to add the rice next time to absord the extra juices, but it was still really good, kinda stewy! - 2/17/11

  I wasn't sure what to expect to be honest, but it was SO SO delicious! I used a pretty hefty quantity of spices. I just eyeballed it, but I would say about a Tbs and a half or more of each spice. I'll be making it again and again - 11/23/10
