Jaime Bowman says:

Only thing missing from this dish for me was black beans, but it was an easy fix, I just added them to the pot. The rice was delicious and the chicken perfectly seasoned. I've made this recipe twice already!

Recipe didn’t work burned my rice to the bottom of my pot and I followed the recipe.
