This really is a fast meal! Great for a busy night. Used boneless skinless chicken thighs as we prefer those over breasts. The only thing that I would do different would be to use a little more sauce as it was a little dry, but I most definitely like the ease and quickness of this recipe. Made for 123 Hits. -
Nice quick family weeknight meal. I used a brown rice that was not packaged so I cooked it first with the peas and then added to the skillet. Worked out fine and the tastes were very nice. A nice change of pace from other skillet meals in our rotation. Thanks for a nice recipe! Made for I Recommend Tag game. -
As with several others who made your recipe, I used brown rice, but otherwise followed your recipe on down & we thoroughly enjoyed this quick & tasty chicken meal! I ofetn combine peas or green beans with rice, so this was right up my alley! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in 1-2-3 Hits Tag] -
A great weeknight dinner with a delightful Asian flavor. Very quick and easy, had dinner on the table in between 15 and 20 minutes. Made as written using packaged brown rice. Also like that the serving sizes were of the proper size. Will make again. Thanks for the post. -
This recipe was horrible! You can't cook the peas with the packaged rice because you can't open the rice package to cook in the microwave. Chicken pieces need to be cut into much smaller pieces. Would not make this again.

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
