Made exactly as the recipe states, apart from mixing some garlic granules in with the breadcrumbs and adding an extra half chicken stock cube to the stock. Me and my two kids absolutely loved it, and I had enough left for my lunch the next day. I'll definitely be making this again, I will say though, you couldn't really taste the garlic at all! So I'll definitely be tripling the garlic next time.

Would definitely make this again and have enough leftover for tomorrow. I added broccoli, tripled the seasoning and Italian herb mix into the breadcrumbs. Fried chorizo would go amazingly into this dish!

Definitely need to add whatever seasonings you like as the recipe is pretty bland.

I added extra garlic and a drizzle of ranch dressing on mine. One of the easiest dinners I’ve ever made

Wish we would have added chicken bouillon or something to give it a little extra flavor Otherwise good

We've made this a few times. Usually with cut up breasts instead of tenders. Occasionally with regular bread crumbs instead of panko. And always with extra salt, pepper, and garlic. So great and the kids LOVE it! ❤️

This was quick and easy to make. I would rate it an 8 out of 10 for taste. I'd prob add a little more garlic next time to make it more of a garlic chicken. We used Jasmin rice and cut up chicken breasts and it was very good.

Tasty. Simple. I definitely had to cook it for a full hour BEFORE the bread crumbs cause there was too much liquid left in the rice. And I would say it could use some more garlic before I would consider it "garlicky." Tasty though. Would make again.
