Tucson Botanical Gardens
Cook's notes: Weeknight Meals Made Easy-Spend Less Time in the Kitchen 
I was fully engaged after reading the advertisement for  
The product comes in White, Brown and Jasmine Rice. If you go to  successrice.com   there are 50 recipes that use this product. I went with the featured recipe Santa Fe Chicken and Rice and added my own spin. It was quick, easy and very flavorful.  Diced olives are optional. A rotisserie chicken is an optional time saver. Brown rice is a healthy option.  Check out other rice options below the recipe.
