Homemade Rice-a-Roni

Here is the recipe for homemade Rice-a-Roni. For a super easy supper for myself, I put cubed chicken or pork (raw) in the pot with the Rice-a-Roni ingredients and cook it all together. I'm thinking I could even add broccoli or green beans and have a one pot meal when I don't feel much like cooking.


Homemade Rice-a-Roni
1/2 cup tiny pasta, or broken spaghetti
1 cup rice (I like jasmine or basmati rice)
2 TBSP parsley
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp thyme
3 cups low-sodium broth (chicken or veggie)

Put everything in a pot. Cook, covered, until it boils. Stir once, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes.
