I prepared this recipe 2\/15\/23. I used 2% milk, Italian-style bread crumbs and 1 lb. of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved, 4 Tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. of a combo lemon-orange peel.

For the onion, I had Bermudas on hand, and I did not add the cheese to the rice. Not only was this great that day, but it reheated well also.

If you're not a fan of English peas, you could also use sugar snaps or even asparagus tips.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-10-22","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueFish"},"reviewBody":"Such an easy way to make plain rice taste amazing.
