Submitted by PookeyLumLum

"This is fabulous with fish and/or chicken. It can easily be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth instead of chicken. It's quick, easy and was a hit with my family. Hope you enjoy."

Yum, this was great! I served it with salmon, but I think it would go well with chicken too.

I made this for company and was very pleased with the taste. Very easy to cook. I used chicken broth instead of the cubes and water and I used the long grain rice. I also used baby spinach which worked well. I would definitely make this again.

Very tasty, however recipe is very poorly written. Ingredients are not listed in order used, bullion flavor not specified. Wording and directions unusual.
