(8 pack) Zatarain's Yellow Rice Mix, 6.9 oz Box

I typically have a hard time making rice. However I followed the instructions very carefully and it turned out perfect. I also included parsley and basil along with some grilled chicken breast. The whole house smells delicious and taste delicious. Thank you for this opportunity.

I had low expectations because I don't usually make rice out of a box. In my past experiences, it's usually too salty. Also, my husband and kids like plain white rice so I make what they like to eat. What I liked about this product is that it was so easy. I only needed to add water although I did add the optional butter. It was just like making white rice on the stovetop. I didn't have to worry about stirring it or that it would burn. I tossed all the ingredients in a pot and turned the heat down to a simmer once it started to boil. Then when the timer went off, I removed it from the stove and waited another 5 minutes then it was done! It smelled so good. I gave it a taste test and it was favorable, but not too salty. I can imagine playing it with chicken, pork, fish, or shrimp. I had my picky young daughters and husband try it and unfortunately they all did not like it. That being said, it was good enough that I would actually buy it for myself.
