Why is the cooking time so much longer than the basic rice recipe?

This is a good recipe. I’ve made it so many times with adjustments of course. For example, I cook this for 15-20 min

I'd like a little clarification on the veggies: leave them frozen and let the rinse + tossing with the hot chicken and rice warm them through? Or thaw them before rinsing?

Hi Kristy! The initial rinse will start the thaw, and the residual heat from the dish will warm them through when fluffing!

A little too plain for my liking. But I like the concept of throwing everything into one pan and cooking it. Will definitely try own version of this in the future.
