Expert Tips

If you prefer, you can use boneless skinless chicken breasts instead of the bone-in. Decrease the baking time to about 20 minutes.

I tried this recipe last night using the short cut... bonless, skinless chicken breasts and reducing the cooking time to 20 minutes. The rice was not cooked all the way after 20 minutes, and there was not enough of it compared to the amount of chicken. Very embarassing since it was for company. If I try it again, I will cook it the full 45 minutes, and use 2 boxes of rice/vermicelli mix, and more liquid of course. Good flavor, though.

I made this dish today with very large, thick, boneless breasts. Had to cook for an hour and 10 minutes. My only complaint was the green peppers were still a little crunchy and the dish was still a little watery. But the overall taste was delicious! A definite keeper!

DO NOT MAKE THIS RECIPE! The bad reviews others have posted are accurate. I used boneless chicken and followed the recipe. After 30 minutes, the chicken was still completely raw. After putting it back in and baking for another 30 minutes, the chicken was done, but the vermicelli was mush and the rice was crunchy. The chicken was the only thing eatible...the rest had to be thrown away. What a waste of food and time!!
