I was out of regular white rice to make the Greek rice pilaf that I usually have with chicken kabobs and grilled veggies, but I had some Minute Rice on hand. All I did was add some lemon juice to make this similar to my other recipe, and it was so delicious. Quick and easy too!

I forgot to put my rice in the steamer before starting dinner last night! I'd found a box of minute rice, hiding in the back of the pantry, a couple days ago too, so finding your recipe to use it up was a real treat! This was super easy and tasted great! Made as directed, except I used my homemade Italian seasoning blend. Served with recipe #278159, and wrapped in tortillas, it was a healthy and satisfying 30 minute meal. Thanks for sharing your creation, Robyn! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :) http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

This sure was simple! I did adjust the spices a bit (used about half the seasoned salt and half the pepper and omitted the parsley as I didn't have any). I will definitely make this again. Made for Fall PAC 2009 Thx Robyn!
