Make rice and onions 30 minutes before serving meal, add peas and corn last 10 minutes of simmering rice.

$6.99 bottle of pinot noir and ice water with lemon slice.

Watermelon for dessert.

    Very good!! The only thing I did different was cut the chicken in chunks and put it over the rice and used cream of chicken soup (don't like mushrooms). I will make this again. Thanks Steve!! - 7/31/09

    My boyfriend really enjoyed it while I thought it was just ok. We'll make it again as it was super easy, but I'll play with it a bit to give it more of a kick. - 8/25/09

    Thank you for a wonderful new way to prepare chicken. We love hot food, so I used Medium Salsa instead of Mild and it was just right for us! - 8/7/09
