      Great rice dish. I used cilantro instead of the parsely. I also used the juice of a whole lemon. I added garlic to the onions as well. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight!!

      Very Good ... and Thank You. Learning to flavor my rice has really made even the simplist of meals an adventure. One hint I would like to offer in step # 2. Take the time to make sure each grain of rice is coated with the oil before adding the chicken stock. This step will make the pilaf light and fluffy.

      We really love rice, and this was so good. I forgot to buy the parsley so used lemon thyme instead. It was a great addition.

We enjoyed it with mint chicken. A BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS MARVELLOUS RECIPE!!

      Wonderful rice dish! I'm not usually a big fan of rice but this was absolutely great. I served it along side of Oven Baked Maine Fish (#21553) and some steamed baby carrots. Great Meal! Will do this one again and again. Didn't change a thing except to use veggie broth instead of chicken. Thanks for a great recipe!

      Made this dish with short grain organic brown rice instead of long grain white rice with nice results. Nutty, lemony, light... quite well received. Added a little salt for a bit more flavor. This also worked VERY well reheated with the addition of some grated parmesan cheese; flavor is more intense the 2nd time around and makes me wonder about prepping this a day before I intend to serve it next time.

      Very good versatile rice dish. I think this would also be delicious subbing fresh chopped mint for the parsley. I had this with garlic shrimp last night and it was really well received. I would recommend this as a good staple for your recipe files.

      Something different from the ordinary. I like the lemon flavor in this dish. I used Basmati rice, reduced sodium chicken broth and dried parley. After the first step, I cooked mine in a rice cooker and it was done in 15 minutes. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

      The lemon is a great addition to this rice dish. Even my picky husband approved. I used dried parsley and added it along with the stock. Thanks for a good recipe!

      This was a very nice alternative to the more labor intensive risotto....easy, labor free and would go great with fish. It was a great side for rosemary pork chops!

      Great compliment for white fish and butter sauce. I used dried marjoram.

      Nice way to spice up regular ol' rice. I love lemon flavor on anything, and this went very nicely with fish. I like the idea of trying cilantro instead of parsley, too.

      Very tasty. I stirred a few times toward the end of cooking and used a short grain rice. It turned out sort of creamy like a risotto. I did add a little salt because I used a low sodium chicken broth. I also stirred in a dab of butter at the end. Yummy served with fish. Thanks.

      This was very nice! I cut back to 1 c rice and 2 c chicken stock with good success. Everyone liked the lemon flavor, even the picky eight year old. Was a nice side dish to grilled steak. Thanks for posting!

      Wow!! this rice is mighty yummy. My husband LOVED it, I served it with pork tenderloins and it was a great combination. The only sub I made was cilantro instead of parsley since that's what I had on hand. Oh yeah and extra extra lemon since we're lemon fans :) Thank you so much for a keeper of a recipe!!
