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!

We liked this rice. My husband who usually doesn't eat mexican rice had seconds. It is easy to make. Will make again. Thanks Ginny Sue. Bullwinkle.

Excellent recipe Ginny Sue! My boyfriend thought I had gone to our local Mexican restaurant and bought the rice last night! He was very pleased to find out I made it! (we spend a lot of money at that restaurant)!!! Not anymore!!!!!! Thanks Ginny Sue!

i was looking for a rice dish to go with a mexican meal,and Chef Michelle S. suggested this one.And "Oh Boy" I'm so glad she did.All i had was instant white rice.So I mixed up all the seasonings,started the water for the rice,when the water reached a rolling boil i added the seasonings and rice, covered the pan and let it sit for 5 minutes.My SO said it had a better flavor than any rice that you could get at a Mexican restaurant. I served this with recipe# 149952 and Salsa Chicken.thank you so much for posting.The next time i fix mexican food this will part of the meal.Thank you for posting.

used chicken broth instead of the granules and skipped the cayenne because of kids. Otherwise a wonderful dish i served it with oven fried taco chicken.TY

This was great! We substituted the dried onion with a small whole onion and skipped the paprika and used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. It was HOT and delicious!

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!
