  1. I made this rice dish to accompany chicken marinated in Recipe #305170. The rice was very, very bland even after adding chopped onion while sauteing the garlic. DH and I agreed the flavor could have used more depth. Perhaps substituting chicken stock for the water would have helped? I'm sorry, but we didn't care for this recipe.
