Caribbean Rice

Oh man is this rice good and packed with flavor! Your family will be going crazy over the aroma it causes in your kitchen :) I couldn't find the Mrs. Dash flavor it asked for in my grocery store, so I just used the original blend in mine and it turned out fabulous. If you want a rounded out meal broil some chicken seasoned with 1 tsp of the Mrs. Dash to serve along with the rice. I also love to serve this rice with these Asian Chicken Skewers. I've also made it with green bell pepper and corn instead of peas- you can really use whatever you have.
