    I had all the ingredients, I only put 1teaspoon of salt in the seasoning mixture 2tablespoons of salt seemed a little excessive. I added in the olives in the end they were a little punch of salt when biting into them that was perfect.

    Awesome. I didn't have tumeric. I cooked the chicken and rice by accident (didn't read the directions correctly. I didn't add the final ingredients to the top (olives, fresh herbs because I felt like it was already really flavorful, and the olives would be a little too salty. The rice was extremely flavorful. I think it's the best rice dish I've ever made. I like the idea of marinating the chicken ahead of time and also chopping all of the veggies ahead of time. The chopping is the most time consuming part.

    I'm a novice cook, and I'm always feeling like my food is bland. I made my rice and chicken in a Le Creuset pot, too, on medium flame. It is a TAD bit salty, so I'd probably cut back on the salt on the adobo seasoning mix.

    I'll probably add some carrots next time for color and for my toddler.

    Awesome! Everyone loved it. I used exactly how much salt the recipe called for, but maybe more chicken and rice. That may have helped, but it did't seem salty to me. Wasn't sure about the chicken, so I bought bone in breast (butcher split them so I only bought two and the butcher only had bone in thighs with legs attached so had them remove the legs and so the the thighs were a little large. There wasn't anyone at the table that ate the skin, so that also may have helped with the salt issue. Also rinsed the olives before adding. Only critique I would have is the temp settings for using a dutch over. I have an enamel coated cast iron (le creuset and you are generally not supposed to set that over a high flame, otherwise you can scald the pot on the outside and/or inside. I kept it at med to med-high most of the time.

    This was awesome - however I think Bobby forgot to let us know when to add the olive.

    This was an excellent recipe, did not use the olives or the tomatoes and it still tasted delicious!

    I enjoyed this, and so did my 22 year old son. My husband just wanted plain chicken & plain rice. This is a tasty recipe. I did cut the salt in half, even tho I used homemade chicken broth made without any salt. I only put 1 tsp salt in the adobo mixture. However, once I checked my broth & knew it was 0 salt, I shook the shaker over the chicken, lightly. Later, I added another 2 tsps salt to the unsalted broth (to flavor the rice & veggies. I usually cook the chix with the rice in these kind of recipes. I guessed it's separated to keep the coating on the chix, as opposed to it's being mixed with the rice. I didn't have much juice to put with the chix, cooking on it's own, so I added broth, which afterwards I drizzled on the chix & rice.

    This recipe was not only tasty but beautiful too! The aromas and colors invited the fork. Yummy! I used boneless, skinless chicken and used half the salt and it turned out wonderful. I also tossed together the herbs and spices earlier in the day as well as chopping all the veggies; made dinner prep a lot quicker. A cool Merlot or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc is the icing on the cake! I will definitely use this recipe again! Also a good pot-luck dish.

    All good cooks make changes to someone else's recipe.
    True...some of the ingredients have heavy sodium content..
    However one should taste their cooking and correct the salt.
    This is a very good recipe..
    Add the spices you like and delete that, you do not like.
    I made this dish for a *Bring a dish picnic...It was a favorite.
    Thank you Bobby Flay..

    I used a fraction of the salt (1/4th of the amount, but this dish was a crowd pleaser. ALL THREE of my kids liked it. That's unheard of. Fox News just showed up to do a story. Take that however you want.

    This dish should feed approximately 92 adults. If I was making it for just myself and a friend, I'd cut the recipe by 1/4th and add 1/2 or maybe a whole serrano pepper. There is no heat in this dish, but it's still very tasty. The fresh cilantro is an absolute must.
