Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan, be sure to stir it occasionally while it is cooking. If you find that the rice is still a bit crunchy after the liquid has been absorbed, you can add a bit more chicken broth and continue cooking until it is tender. Additionally, you can also add a bit of chopped parsley or green onions to the rice before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
