[butcha]

whats good way to make brown rice, to add some flavor, im tired of this plain stuff, i need some excitement in my diet, lol thanks in advance

[johnnyironboard]

Use chicken broth instead of water.

[engfire]

Buy some real lean Hamburger meat and brown it and add it to the rice. You have good carbs and some protein all in one.

My personal fav for a quick and easy meal is to take the brown rice and add in some grilled chicken breast strips and some steamed mixed veggies. Toss a little low sodium soy sauce on top, mix it all together, and there u go.

after cooking it, i added salt, lemon pepper, a few squirts of 'i cant believe its not butter' spray, and lemon juice. tasted fine.

put 1 cup of brown rice into a glass casserole dish. put 3 cups of water in the dish. dump half a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. place lid on the casserole dish and put in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour. go workout or something, come back and remove from oven and eat!!!!

i do the salsa and chicken breast thing. i add corn and green beans as well. also i have started using ms. dash lemon pepper on my rice and salads as well. just take abunch of different things and throw them in your rice. i do it everyday for llunch now and its really good.
just a side note, i have lost 8lbs since mid december eating smarter and using brown rice and chicken as a main food for lunches.
adios, J

Brown rice and lentils cook at about the same time, so you could saute a bit of onion, throw in some seasoning, and then add your rice with as many (or as few) lentils as you like. The lentils give a very hearty, savory flavor to the rice.

[son_of_siam]

Use chicken broth instead of water.

That's key.
I also add some mushrooms and just a little lowfat ranch dressing.

[butcha]

haha dang u guys got alot of good ideas, i take it im not the only one whos got bored with my diet

[Stand Ablaze]

Tomato paste, and crushed tomatos, with onions and green peppers. Throw in a diced chicken breast, you have a meal.

yea salsa is very good on rice too. i use salsa on almost anything (eggs, rice, salads, chicken breast sandwhich, fish, beans) its super affordable, low calorie, and they have real ingredients on the labels.

i agree salsa is the G.O.A.T. ....i get that costco style, in bulk

[dum_bell]

would throwing chicken borth instead of water add too many calories?

[dapper]

2 cups of brown rice boiled and prepared
4 chicken breast cut up into small pieces
4 bags of birdseye mixed veggies
4 eggs scrambled

Soy sauce will make it taste much better but if you are watching your sodium even the low sodium stuff has a lot of sodium in it and I don't think it taste as good. So if you make a batch of this and use regular soy sauce and eat this for one of your meals each day I think you are alright.

You can substitute beef for chicken for beef fried rice well I don't fry mine I jsut mix it all together. I usually have enough for at least a week if not longer.

One of the my favs is Chicken Breast, Brown Rice, Peas, and Carrots. Then I dash some Tonys on it and its heaven!
