not much flavor
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I really wanted this recipe to be good. With all of those different flavors, I couldn't believe how bland it was. I wonder... if the cooking method really matters. I cooked it in the slow cooker for 8 hours. The meat fell off the bone but had no flavor. The rice also was very bland. It wasn't awful, just extremetly bland. I wonder if it would be better simmered on the stove top or even in the over for a shorter period. It was very soupy. Too bad as I really like Robin's meal plans and usually like the recipes.Read more

What a horrible recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

My husband will eat almost anything and he had a hard time eating this dish. The chicken had no flavor and it taste like... boiled chicken. I doubled the peppers and it still didn't have much flavor. As for the rice, I could't eat it. It was horrible even though I followed this recipe exactly. I have never left feedback for a recipe before but I registered to let you know this is a huge waste of time and money.Read more

A regular appearance in my home.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This meal is a staple in my home and for potluck dinners. So flavorful. Don't be afraid of the peppers, the carrots cook down... and add sweetness. Read more

Disappointed
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I was looking for a new chicken dish to try,after reading the reviews I changed my mind,As for the Jamaican rice and peas... recipe,instant rice is not used, for 2 cups of rice you add 4 cups of liquid ,butter,fresh thyme scotch bonet peppers, green onions,salt and pepper,and pigeon peas.I prefer Ocho Rios brand any except Goya[there are different varieties available in Walmart] The liquid from the can peas can be included in your 4 cups.This should make your rice more flavorful along with you garlic cloves and coconut milk ,caution do not cut your pepper, it will make it too hot.
