     Very Good! I cut the salt to almost nothing and added 3/4 t of cumin and cilantro, next time I will increase both of these and will try using salsa instead of tomato sauce to add a bit more flavor. Thank you for sharing! - 3/21/11

     Love this!!! I added a clove of garlic to the rice when browning it. Also, cut the salt added black pepper and oregano. - 11/14/11

     I double this recipe whenever it's prepared, yes it's that good. Keeps up to a week in the fridge. - 10/8/17

     You can do this without the oil, without the salt and reduce the sodium and fat a heck of a lot. Just throw the chicken bouillion in with the rice when you boil it, add cayenne/cajun spice/chili powder and then garnish with chopped green onions when it's finished. - 7/16/13

     Why white rice, when brown is better for you?? - 6/14/12

     LOVE this recipe! I used the advice of others, adding cumin and chili powder. I also will add black beans, salsa with a little cheese on top for a meal! It's a very versatile recipe, I use it for a lot of things, and make changes here and there. Thanks for sharing! - 12/17/11

     Great and EASY recipe. I was looking for a rice recipe, and I had VERY limited ingredients. This came out perfect, just like in a Mexican restaurant. It went great with pinto beans. A lot of sodium, so it won't be good for people trying to cut down on it, but otherwise, it's amazing! - 1/12/11

     Made this without the oil or browning the rice to save 80 calories a cup (which is a lot just for some oil WOW), just tossed everything in the rice cooker. Used half the bullion dissolved in Chicken broth, came out great! - 1/9/11
  • JIFFMOM
     Love this recipe! If we feel more "spicy" I just add a little cumin & fresh cilantro. - 10/30/10

     I really liked this rice. So did my boyfriend and family. I've already had requests to make some more for during the week. - 1/10/10

     I halved the salt and it was still too salty (probably ruined some of the taste for me). I'd say go for 1- 1.5 tsp salt...you can always add more to taste at the end. - 1/18/09
  • VCURVYCUTE
     I didn't have any bouillion so I just tossed in the broth from a can of chicken noodle soup and it turned out fantastic! Almost like mi abuelita's! Yummy! - 11/11/08
  • MAMAVICTORIA02
