For a richer flavor, try using chicken broth. To add more vegetables, consider incorporating some frozen peas, corn, or diced carrots during the simmering process. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely chopped jalapeño along with the other spices. Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.
