Very good, but I changed it because we don't like cream cheese in savory dishes. Instead I used a can of 98% ff cream of chicken soup and canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh because it was quicker. Very good, thanks Kraft!

This was probably the best meal I have made so far off of the Kraft website. My family loved it. I ended up not having brown rice, so I just used white. I used regular cream cheese, added sauteed mushrooms, used chopped frozen spinach and canned diced tomatoes. I added 1 3/4 c. of the chicken broth and it cooked the rice really good. I didn't think the sauce had too much of a cream cheese taste to where it was all you could taste. I served this with garlic cheese bread. Awesome! Will make over and over again!

I thought this was great! I sauteed some mushrooms before hand and added them in when I added the spinach - very tasty! Also, I used drained canned diced tomatoes with Basil, oregano and garlic - I feel like it made the dish! Husband loved it!

I substituted Sun Dried Tomato Dressing and instead of fresh tomatoes, added some sun dried tomatoes--fabulous

Husband loved it! The only thing I would have done differently was add a little more broth and possibly marinate the chicken beforehand. Yum! Will definitly make this again!

This is a good meal. However you have to add more chicken broth then what it asks for because your rice wont be cooked all the way. (I add the whole can)

Very Very good... I enjoye dit. So easy and pretty on the plate. I used regular cream cheese becaue its what I had, and I also used Italian dressing plain and added red peppers.
