    Replaced thighs with breast meat. This recipe is flawless. Absolutely delicious, simple and filling. The chimichurri sauce is the key. I keep getting amazed by the recipes I find here.

    Solid Recipe, good flavor. Day old rice is key. If you’re a person who can’t do cilantro like me then use all parsley. I added a Fresno chili to the chimichurri for a little heat.

    Recipe is great but I don’t think you mention when to add the tomatoes. I just threw them in at the end. Either way 10/10

      Nevermind I’m an idiot. I see the tomatoes now. I swear I read this 5 times before I posted the comment. Oh well

    Made this today and it came out great. Good combo of flavors. My only downside is it had slightly more cleanup—frying pan, baking pan, rice pot, blender, mixing bowls, etc than other recipes on the site.

    Tried this again. I’m getting better at cooking. Cooked breasts in slow cooker til just able to pull apart. For some reason my rice is better when cooked in instant pot rather than rice cooker. I didn’t make enough chimi sauce but it was phenomenal. Thx brother
