I made this the other night because I couldn't think of anything else to make with the ingredients I had. I didn't end up putting chicken in it so I ate it the first night as a side with some left-over London broil. The next night I had it as my main dish with a salad .

Step 3

Combine the seasoning packets with the remaining cup of chicken broth and stir into rice along with the remaining ingredients.
Step 4

Bring heat up to medium and cook, stirring, until liquid is absorbed. Serve hot.
