Questions & Reviews

Bethany Harris says:

Just checking on the Zatarain's rice mix - recipe says an 8-ounce box but the link says the boxes are 6.9 ounces?
Cyd says:

Hi Bethany, it actually comes in both sizes. Either one will work just fine. Just prepare the rice according to package directions.
Pat Harward says:

This is too dry for me with just one can of soup so we added another one plus some milk.
Cyd says:

Sorry Pat. Not sure what could have gone wrong. We had this just last week and no problems at all. After shredding the chicken, did you add it back into the soupy mixture in the slow cooker? (Don't drain the soupy mixture from the slow cooker) Did you make the rice according to package directions before adding it at the end? Ours is very creamy. Not sure what could be the problem.
Callee Morley says:

So in the picture it's very clear that it's green onions on top and no green peppers in sight, but the recipe says to add green peppers...
Christopher Swearingen says:

It also says "optional" on the green peppers
Maddie says:

Can the chicken breasts be a little frozen?
Cyd says:

It is fine if they are partially frozen.
Patricia Oneal says:

I'm wondering if this would freeze well? After I make it I though maybe I could portion of out and freeze for later.
Cyd says:

This recipe should freeze well in an airtight freezer container.
Kerri says:

The instant pot version seems creamier and includes peas & green beans. Can this version be made with the extra veggies? Should I add another can of soup to make it creamier? Thanks!
Cyd Adamson says:

You could definitely add in more veggies. And yes, I would add in more soup/liquid to make it a little more creamy like the instant pot version. :)
Karen Sullivan says:

I was wondering if I could subtuted rice for noodles.
