Author Notes
A delicious side dish that your family will love! My trick is using chicken broth in place of water and frozen peas that are not cooked separately. They are added on top of the rice after it has cooked. They come our bright green and perfectly cooked!
Jasmine chicken rice, green peas, with shallots, a hint of lemon and dill. A fun way to serve this, which children love, is packing the rice/peas into an ice cream scoop and serving it as a 'rice ball'. This is fabulous with chicken or pork. —BerryBaby
