It would make more sense to brown
the chicken, remove the chicken, add the rice in the remaining
chicken fat (but it's gonna stick badly, so I'd use some butter in
there, too, or oil or something)

That's the technique. There was still oil left from the chicken, so
it didn't stick.

add the juice of the beans to the rice, add the water of canned
tomatoes or Rotel (nowhere in this recipe does it say tomatoes, but
to me it's just plain asking for it!)

There's an onion in it, some garlic, chile powder and 1 1/2 cup
chicken broth. THAT'S IT. Really, very boring flavor, aside from
the whole uncooked-rice-and-chicken scare. (When he said to brown
the chicken breasts 3 mnutes on each side, did he think that'd COOK
them?)

The chicken broth was gone before the rice had cooked FIVE minutes,
let alone twenty. I put in probably double the amount of broth to
get the stuff cooked, and then it was (a) burnt, and (2) gummy.

cook the rice completely, THEN add your
chicken, beans and tomatoes.

Thanks! I might actually try this again. Maybe with tomatoes (you're
right -- Rotel sounds perfect) and a better blend of chile powder
(IMHO the thing's desperate for chipotles) it'd be good.

Yeah, I was thinking it needed some peppers or something. How in the
world did this get published?

You are so funny, kili! You don't like peppers of any kind!
