    I used instant brown rice and I added chili powder and cumin to it. Also when I added the instant rice I added a bag of frozen broccoli. YUM! - 11/20/09

    O.K.
    Extremely bland. I even added extra garlic and extra lime plus lime zest. I'm not sure what could be done to make this taste better. Also, I ended up with a lot more liquid than I expected. I had to use a slotted spoon to get the rice out. Bummed...it sounded great. - 1/19/12

    Great. We love garlic, so I will add more garlic next time. Also I'd like to try it with some zest in there to add more zing. We also used brown rice, as I was out of white rice. - 7/29/11

    DELICIOUS! I was a little skeptical because I don't typically like things like lemon chicken, but this was incredible! I used brown instant rice- this is definitely a keeper recipe! - 5/31/11

    Did you use boneless breasts without skin or breasts with ribs? - 2/2/11
