    Just made this and it was great! I used tomato sauce and had to use a bout half a cup more rice to make it not soupy. It was soooo good, no more bagged rice for me.

    Really liked this recipe. It was easy, flavorful, and authentic tasting. I added carrot and put in less bell pepper.

    Great texture, but recommend cutting salt by half- even though I used low-sodium chicken broth, tasted a bit too salty. But this recipe is definitely a keeper! Thanks!

    Do you cook the rice before adding it to the heated oil??

    Don't stir rice while cooking. When finished, fluff with fork [I posted this recipe.]
