    Sounds good, but the directions for cooking the chicken are vague and I don't see how the chicken will be cooked thoroughly enough if you only cook it till it's no longer pink and then you just add it back to the skillet and heat it through. I suppose if you cube it small enough, it should only take a few minutes to cook, but I'm always leery of chicken being undercooked.

    @Molly- If your chicken is cut into bite size pieces it should only take 5-8 minutes to cook through sauteing in oil. I have adjusted this recipe to be clearer about these directions.

    Not a lot of flavor as is. Next time I will try it with more spices or flavored rice.

    I think my husband would love this. I plan to use fresh basil instead of dried.

    @Becca, if you use fresh basil add it at the end so it doesn't turn dark.

    Why does the picture show grape tomatoes yet the recipe calls for
    canned ?

    Good observation Becca! While the recipe says canned tomatoes you could certainly use fresh grape tomatoes or any fresh tomatoes for that matter, for this recipe. Choose whatever is most affordable for you and if fresh tomatoes are in season I highly recommend using them.

    Just enough tang. And the flavors complement each other nicely.
