Easy and delicious! Even my toddler approved and that's not always an easy task.

Love this recipe! It's so simple but it tastes so delicious. I followed the recipe exactly -- but I can see where it could easily have some additional ingredients added if one wanted to do that. The rice was very fluffy and it had such great flavor. I've already made it a few times and it's on the menu again for tomorrow night!!!

Very good and very easy. My husband and I decided at the last minute we wanted spanish rice and this worked pretty well. I didn't have any tomato sauce so I had to use catsup. That made it a little sweeter and we also didn't have parsley so we used cilantro. We loved the cilantro but not the catsup. We also said we would not add the salt since the chicken bouillon cubes are a little high in salt. We will use make again with tomato sauce and no salt. thanks for an easy fast good spanish rice!
