Notes
- Rice type: If using Basmati or Jasmine rice, check after 10 minutes; they cook faster. If using brown rice, add more broth and allow a longer cooking time; brown rice needs about 35-40 minutes.
- Chicken broth/stock tastes great if you don’t care about keeping the meal vegetarian.
- Tomato sauce: You can use the same amount of your favorite salsa tomato sauce brand.
