This recipe not only looks good, it tastes so yummy! Followed the recipe with 10 drumsticks and there was plenty of Vigo yellow rice with veggies left over, lots! This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing.

The use of a yellow rice mix simplified this recipe and made it so that no added salt was required. An overall easy and satisfying dish.
