So easy and tasty! I didn’t have chicken so swapped out chicken Gouda sausages and it was delicious.

My family LOVES this dish. It is one of the few dishes that everyone in my family will eat. I really like the ease in preparing this dish.

I was really looking forward to this dish but I think some of the measurements were off. There didn't seem to be enough liquid for the amount of veggies and chicken in the recipe. Part of the dish was undercooked (mostly the ingredients on the top), but the bottom seemed mostly cooked which makes sense because it was sitting in liquid as it cooked. In the recipe for the baharat chicken and rice, the ratio between the liquid and rice made sense, but it was off for this dish, especially because there are so many more veggies than in the baharat dish. It also seemed underseasoned for the amount of veggies too. While I think it was good to add the seasoning to the chicken, it wasn't enough to cover all the veggies and the rice. I would have added a lot more seasoning (maybe double?) when I added the liquid. I have leftovers so I'll add more salt, maybe seasoning and reheat with some liquid.

Delicious and easy dinner! I love these new chicken and rice entrees. The seasoning blends are perfect and I like the addition on the vegetables in the dish so I don't have to make an additional side veggie if I don't want to. A side arugula salad is the perfect addition.
