    I added some diced carrots and celery to the pot and it was even more delicious!

  • Michale Gibson

    My rice was a little mushy, but I think I just added too much liquid. I'll use less next time.

    I was skeptical at first, but this one-pot method is genius! The chicken is so crispy and the rice is perfectly cooked.

  • Clemens Donnelly

    The lemon juice is key! It really brightens up the flavors of the dish.
