My family adores this rice recipe. We usually eat it with chicken but it is also good with pork. My favorite part of this recipe is that (after browning the pasta) I dump everything in the rice cooker and let it do all the work!

I love the way this rice takes on an oh-so-slightly brownish-yellow color from the chicken broth.
