Great for a potluck. Variations may include adding more veggies or using shrimp instead of chicken.

My friend made this recipe for our potluck bbq. Only 1 person out of 15 sort of liked it. Don't know what the problem was but everyone else simply threw their's away after tasting it. I would not recommend to anyone. Read More

This recipe was excellent! The first time I made it I used beef flavour Rice A Roni (was serving it with a barbequed roast beef for my future inlaws) added salad shrimp and chopped red and green peppers second time with chicken flavoured rice and shrimp. Everyone loved it and requested the recipe! I'm usually not a fan of cold rice salads but this was great! Read More

I've made this recipe twice this week for company. I added red peppers for color and this last time I eliminated the celery and added blanched pea pods and blanched corn. It was wonderful and a great way to get some veggies into kids. Read More

This recipe was easy enough to fix but did not have enough visual appeal or taste pizaaz to be sampled by very many people at a potluck. I added mandarin oranges the 2nd day (pineapple tidbits would also have worked) and it both looked and tasted better although it was still probably only an "8" on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest. A helpful hint: Brown the chicken until done in the same pan that you will use for the Rice-a-Roni. It provides added flavor to the dish and simplifies cleanup. Read More

I was very disappointed in this recipe. I loved the flavor but thought the texture was too mushy. I would not make it again. Read More
