I like to try out different flavor combinations of Rice-A-Roni salad and this chicken and artichoke version is my favorite. Ranch seasoning and sun-dried tomatoes give it a lot of extra flavor. I originally made this recipe as a side dish, but now serve it as an entree. \u2014Shelly Bevington, Hermiston,

Made this tonight for the family, everyone loved this dish! ( and they are a hard crowd to please).

Fantastic flavor. Rice and bacon need to be made ahead of time. I recommend the low sodium Rice-a-Roni, as the other ingredients have so much salt in them. Served on chopped lettuce with sliced tomatoes on the side is perfect. There are no sundried tomatoes in this recipe, but we like it sprinkled with cilantro on top.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}}]},"video":{"data":{"status":204},"message":"No shortcode found in recipe"},"rms_legacy_id":"276030","romance_copy_dek":"I like to try out different flavor combinations of Rice-A-Roni salad and this chicken and artichoke version is my favorite.
