Rice Pilaf Recipe

I had never made Rice Pilaf before and I thought I would give it a try. This Rice Pilaf Recipe is a very basic recipe that is very easy to prepare. I am sure if you wanted to you could spice it up a little bit but I thought the taste was excellent without the addition, of additional spices. I also have never used orzo pasta before. The only recommendation I would make on that is watch the orzo closely because it browns very quickly. Outside of that I served this as a side dish with fish, and we all enjoyed it. The next time you are looking for a flavored rice side dish give this Rice Pilaf Recipe a try, you’ll be surprised as to how easy it is to prepare, and I am sure you will be happy with the results. Enjoy

Chicken Flavored Rice Recipe

There are so many times I need a side dish to go along with a grilling recipe and as a result I get tempted when I am at the market to save some time and grab a flavored rice mix. The fact is that homemade does not take a lot longer and in my opinion tastes better than the store version. In this recipe I decided on chicken flavoring, however beef could be used instead; and I am sure the results would be excellent. Just substitute the chicken bouillon and broth, with beef and this Chicken Flavored Rice Recipe turns into a beef flavored rice recipe. This is a simple recipe with very little prep time and you can have the rice cooking while you are attending to the main dish. I followed the recipe as is and the family thought it was better than any of the flavored rice mixes we have purchased previously in the stores. The next time you need a flavored rich mix, give this Chicken Flavored Rice Recipe a try. (I didn’t include any prep pictures on this post mainly because it is such a simple recipe)Enjoy
