Had cilantro lime rice on hand , used that to replace the brown rice . Dish was so tasty and what a quick an easy recipe. We loved it, will definitely be making this again. Thank you!
It was just absolutely delicious. However I used chicken broth, seasoned black beans, and garlic roasted tomatoes instead. Kept all the other ingredients. Loved the flavor. Thanks!
Very quick & easy recipe with good flavor. I added Andouille sausage & corn. I had leftover white rice so I added that at the end & left it absorb some of the sauce. The dill weed added a nice subtle flavor. I did add a bit more spices because I was using white rice which I thought might make it a more bland flavor.
This was an awesome dinner. Everyone loved it. Let’s get real with the prep time though. 10 minutes is a joke. Chopping an onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and chicken, not to mention measuring spices, is a 30 minute endeavor at best.
I really wanted to like this recipe as I was super tired of my regular rotation of recipes, and the dill weed intrigued me. My Mexican husband and 5-year-old daughter liked it, but I really didn’t care for the dill weed. Maybe it was the quantity, but I just thought it was far too strong. If I make this again, I’d either omit it altogether or just go with a scant ¼ or ½ teaspoon, not the full 1 ½ teaspoon the recipe calls for. Also, add lime juice as another optional topping! It is awesome. *And, cauliflower and zucchini make awesome extra veggies that don’t take away from the flavor and bulk it up 🥰
It was yummy. We didn’t have instant rice so cooked it separately before adding to the pan. It came together nicely. We had tortilla chips to scoop it up.
Really nice.
Very tasty. I thought it was really easy to prep, cooking quickly. There’s so much wiggle room to add! I used cream of mushroom soup, added cooked rice at end and added mushrooms. Yum.
Great easy meal. It makes so much and it’s very filling.
I made my rice in a separate pot. I added it at the end with no other adjustments. It was perfect.
I’m sorry to hear the recipe wasn’t to your taste, Rhonda. I know it’s disappointing to try a new recipe and not enjoy it. I (and many other readers) have enjoyed it, so I really wish they would’ve been a hit for you too!
The recipe was tasty and flavorful, however the instant brown rice does NOT cook in the amount of time the recipe says. I’ve made this twice now, and each time I spend an additional 30 minutes reheating and resimmering and waiting for the skillet to sit and absorb the water. It takes a few rounds of doing that until the rice is cooked. Kind of disappointing. Next time I will just make the rice separately, but the whole appeal of this recipe was to only use one dish.
Hi Caroline! Thanks for sharing this feedback. Would you mind sharing which brand of rice you are using? I’d love to help troubleshoot! I’ve made this with both Uncle Ben’s and Minute brand.
Easy and delicious! Apparently I ran out of diced tomatoes and didn’t realize, but I had Rotel on hand and omitted the cayenne. I also used cooked rice because it’s what I had. Delicious balanced meal! I will be adding this to my meal rotation.
Only a three star because this recipe needs revised. This is TOO much rice for 1 pound of chicken. There was barely any! I had to add another pound and add more seasoning because it was too bland. With the correct proportions, very tasty.
I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the recipe, J. The amounts, flavorings and timing have worked well for myself (and others) so I wished it would have been a hit for you too! I know it can be so disappointing to try a new recipe and it does not turn out for you.
Wow is this good! My husband said the spices were spot on (I used 1/4 teaspoon cayenne). Super easy and we had some chicken left and my husband said it made a great chicken salad sandwich the next day for lunch. Thanks for another great recipe Erin.
Huge hit for my teens. All 3 of my kids have different food preferences. 2 loved it, and 1 liked it. It’s a win for this fam. It has been added to our dinner rotation.
This recipe has become a fan favorite for my family of 4 and we make it almost weekly now! I love the one pan simplicity and the flavor never disappoints! Bonus – it’s filling! I have 2 teenage boys that eat a lot! As a side note, I have never used the dill when I cooked it because that’s not a flavor we tend to like in our family. It’s still amazing!
This is definitely being added to weekly meals. It wasn’t difficult to prep or cook. The instant brown rice took a bit longer, but that could have been the pan I used. It really doesn’t matter because it came out perfect. I may try seasoning the chicken with Sazon next and adding a tablespoon of tomato paste – I’m curious how that would turn out.
**Also a note for Erin: the URL says “One Skillet Spicy Ranch Chicken.”
So glad you enjoyed the chicken, Gina! Yes the url is correct, that’s what we originally named the recipe back in 2018 when we created the recipe but we’ve updated it since then except we can’t change the url. Thank you!

This had a peculiar taste. Maybe it was the Dill weed.

Really good and easy! I made it with tender loins and white rice instead of what was in the recipe and it was great.
So glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe, Des! Thank you!
We absolutely loved it! Easy and kid friendly
Thank you Nikala!

Makes me so happy to hear! Thank you!
This is a good recipe. I omitted the green pepper and used just red. The only thing I’ll do differently next time is to replace the dill with oregano.
Thanks for sharing Jill!
I would make this recipe again
