Directions

Cooking times will vary.

I do the following:

While the rice cooks, I prep the chicken and peas


Soak the rice for 20 minutes prior to cooking.
Cook in a heavy bottomed pan however the bag says to cook it.

In large bowl mix cooked rice, olive oil, mashed peas until well blended.

In a second small bowl mix some water with salt.
