Zest Up Your Rice
Beat mealtime boredom with Minute® Rice! This recipe is a quick and simple way to amp up your average rice skillet dinner. How? By using flavor boosters!
We’ll show you just how simple it is to make a dish that’s loaded with flavor, in minutes. Simply start by sautéing some chicken with your favorite Italian dressing and a touch of Dijon mustard. This will give your entire dish a savory base of flavor. Then, add in the other ingredients along with water and rice and allow everything to cook up to fluffy perfection. As the rice cooks, it will absorb all of the flavors for more tastiness in every bite.
