I am wondering about the cook time. Only 20 minutes total? The rice box calls for 20 minutes AFTEr brining it to a boil. What heat level is this recipe?

Quick, easy, and delicious dish to make. I use 3 cups of rice, which rounds the broth out to an exact 32 ounce container (which is how they are typically sold). The chicken broth already has a lot of sodium, so I prefer to go light on the salt. I make this for my dinner group every Sunday and its done from start to finish in 30 minutes. Goes well with chicken and vegetables. -
Made this tonight and it was great! Made it just as it was written and will definitely make it again!

Mmm, I love vegetables in my rice. I used shredded carrots instead of chopped. Very good! -
This went over great with the gang. It's a great side dish that will compliment many dishes I make. You can change up the veggies to suit your taste. I plan to use broccoli and carrots next time, or mushrooms and peas. Thanks for sharing!

Yum! I didn't use chicken broth, just water because we have to watch sodium for my baby (I took out his portion after it was cooked but before adding the salt). I used a teaspoon or more of onion powder and the dish was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

This recipe was bland for our tastes so I doubled all the spices, & replaced the butter with olive oil. I also added 2 tsp. lemon juice, Finished with 1 Tbs chopped cilantro. 1/2 tsp. dried Aleppo pepper flakes &
