This easy side dish is aromatic and flavorful – pair this lemon parsley rice with broiled chicken or baked tilapia.
Sleep is a wonderful thing, until that is all you are doing. I don’t know what’s going on with me, but I have been unable to do anything but sleep since Monday. And all of Monday I slept – day and night. Today I am forcing myself out of bed to share this recipe with you and catch up on my email. Sooo many emails.
My lack of energy has been saved by one little thing this week – The Good Housekeeping Cookbook (affiliate link). It’s actually a pretty big cookbook, so I guess I should say one big thing. I don’t have the most recent version but all of the recipes it includes are in the more recent volumes. I have found some great recipes in it over the last few weeks – my creativity without sleep only allows me to modify recipes.
My usual go to starch is pasta, as you can tell by looking at many of my recipe choices. I occasionally eat rice, but I do find it to be a little boring. Most of the time, unless its fried rice, you just have plain boring white or brown rice. Little flavor but you’re full because of the starchiness.
When I came across a recipe for aromatic rice in the cookbook, I was sold. Right off the bat, I knew I would like it because it was cooked in partial chicken broth. That HAD to make the rice taste less boring.
I used my rice cooker to make it even an easier side – nothing quite like chopping up some herbs and grating some lemon peel to spruce up a boring dish.

RICHARD HICKS says
This looks great. I don’t think I have ever had rice with lemon but must give it wonderful taste and the parsley too.
Gwenni says
I do eat rice because it makes me feel fuller faster, but I’m totally bereft of ideas on how to make it less bland but still kinda light & airy. This recipe’s a keeper.
Jenny B says
Glad you like it Gwenni! 🙂

I’m not much of a ‘lemony’ person, but I do love parsley!! And I’m super excited it’s such an easy dish to make. I don’t have any tips on getting your energy back, seeing as how I’m always falling asleep right when I get home, but I hope you do soon haha
Jenny B says
Mr. B doesn’t care for lemony dishes, and liked this one – I hope you do too. Heh, right now I’m drinking a little more caffeine than I usually do to stay up and ready. Thanks anyways 🙂
