I'm definitely not a pro chef but I cooked this for myself and a few friends and it turned out great!

Great for anybody.

The chicken with some "riced" cauliflower would be yummy and so healthy carb!

yum!

This sounds delicious! I think I may try it without the margarine, or a splash of olive oil instead.

I like the lime idea!

If I were to cook the rice separately or not at all would you remove ALL of the broth? I believe some liquid is required for crocks, so perhaps 1/4 cup of water?
