If you have been around here long you know that I have found a new love of cooking and baking for my family but all of my recipes must be easy, quick and family friendly. Now, the biggest challenge is finding those recipes but with the help of Minute® Rice I am always able to create something tasty. My favorite item to have on hand is Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice.

    This is gorgeous. I love one pot dishes. I just tried my first one recently.
    Although my family is full of cilantro haters! Must be generic. We can still use the rest, though, and maybe substitute avocados. Or parsley?

    Oh this looks really good. I haven't had minute rice in a quite some time. My daughter because of college buys it since she says it so much easier to cook.

    I love one pot dishes and the ingredients in this one definitely appeal to me! I never used to care for cilantro but have come to really appreciate it in the last year or so! I think we'll try it!

    I'm a huge fan of one pot recipes. Its such a time saver. And, brown rice is very healthy compared to white. I am going to try your recipe without the chicken!
