    Since my husband is on a low fat low sodium diet, I cut the chicken broth in half and the other half water.Very easy to make.

    My husband & I are trying to lose weight & watch what we eat. This was a great recipe for brown rice. It was soooo easy to make although a little salty so I would probably recommend & low sodium chicken broth but besides that it was perfect!

    Great recipe. I am eating a lean diet, so I made a few moderations. The rice was accompanying beef, so I substituted beef broth for the chicken stock. I added 1/4 cup chopped white onion and green pepper, sauted in 1 tsp. butter. Omitted the onion flakes. It had a wonderful flavor, my 5 and 6 year old kiddos ate it up.
