I liked this, but had a few problems. I used twice as much of each spice but still thought it was a little bland and needed more flavor, However, I didn't have any dried onions on hand and used onion powder, so that may make a difference next time. I also used chicken broth instead of water and bouillon; this too might have created less flavor than the recipe as written. My rice never soaked up all the liquid, but was a good texture at the end of the recommended cooking time. Next time I will follow the recipe as written and see if I get more flavorful results. I specifically picked this recipe because it was just flavored rice - no chunky tomatoes or any other veggies (very picky husband with texture issues), and will use it again until I get it right for my family's taste buds. Thanks so much for posting!

I made this in my rice cooker. I omited the chicken bouillon granules and instead just used chicken broth (instead of the water). This turned out WONDERFUL! Very flavorful and a nice side dish to last nights dinner. Thank you so much for a very flavorful recipe that is super easy to make!
