    The flavors were great, but I needed to add a little more broth towards the end to keep the rice from drying out. Next time, I will check the rice after 30 minutes.

  • King Kiehn

  • Daphney Crist

    I used long-grain rice because that's what I had on hand, and it worked perfectly fine.

  • Oma Conn

    I added some frozen peas and carrots for extra veggies, and it was great!
