Way tasty! I didn't put in the peppers so I added onions and used brown rice and threw in a leftover chicken breast as well.

This was awesome & so easy! I used olive oil instead of canola, chicken broth instead of water, & instant brown rice instead of white. I also added 1/2 lb cooked ground turkey, some finely diced red onions & a couple of pressed garlic cloves. Then we served it with non-fat Greek yogurt, sliced avocadoes, & cilantro. You can just eat it right out of a bowl or wrapped in a whole grain corn or wheat tortilla. So yummy! Both my meat-loving husband & my young daycare children loved it!

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! I always add a good amount of salt while making it, or else it's too bland. It's also great if you add chicken!

I loved this meal! I am a single gal and this dish makes a lot - so I was thrilled that it tastes great for leftovers. (This meal fed me about 5 times) Only changes I made was I used brown instant rice (instead of white) and I found it easier to make the rice by itself then add it in. I have added a Turkey Kielbasa at times and that tastes great when you need some meat in the meal.

This recipe sounded so good as written, but I used what I had on hand. I added 1 jalapeno pepper and 1 medium onion; and used half orange and half green bell peppers. This was so easy and we loved it. Will be making this often and using whatever veggies I have on hand or in the garden.
