Good I would use 1/2 the rice or double the liquid.

I make this with one important change. I use whole, boneless thighs. I saute them in the dressing, then pull them out of the pan and keep them warm. I add more dressing to the pan and continue with the recipe. I add the whole thighs on top of each serving. Fantastic!

Horrible recipe. Without a doubt the worst Kraft recipe I have tried. The cream cheese was just so overwhelming. We ended up throwing the whole dish out and eating cereal.

this is my family's new favorite meal. My kids even ask for it, and they are EXTREMELY picky eaters.

We loved this dish! I used a can of tomatoes that I had on hand and added some frozed corn as well. Very tasty

My family complained when they heard I was making a healthy meal but were pleasantly surpised at how good it tastes. This will be added as a regular meal in our family.

Loved it! I added a jar of mushrooms to it. Next time, I will add a touch more broth and cook the rice down a little more. Husband and daughter even liked it, spinach was not overpowering at all (I used a 6oz bag instead of 8oz).

Very good. I added more spinach, though. Will make again and again!

I really liked this recipe. It was a nice change to my usual rotation of dinner recipes. My boyfriend felt that the spinach was too overpowering and that was all he could taste.
