The recipe as given is a good recipe with tendencies to be a little watery. You may use the recipe as is or alter: Use only 1 cup Broth Simmer to water evaporation Cover, reduce to lowest setting, heat 17 minutes. Remove from heat, uncover, rest 5 mins, gently fluff, rest 5 mins, fluff, rest 10 mins more, serve. Refrigerate/freeze for later use.

This recipe works better and the rice comes out not so mushy if you bring all ingredients to a boil and THEN add the rice.

I fix this all the time since I have a kidney disease and the steriods I take for it have given me diabetes. I now have to find recipes that are suitable for both my diseases. I give this a 4 star rating
