Submitted by NiftyDeb

"Basic in ingredients, but full of flavor. This is one of those recipes that is quick to put together with ingredients you have on hand. Possibly it would cook more quickly with Minute Rice, but you might not want to brown it as long as the vegetables."

Very easy and tasty. I used all chicken broth instead of part chicken broth and part water. My husband and 5 kids wolfed it down. Will definitely be making again!
