What could be better than mushroom rice with garlic, onion, and fresh parsley? This dish is a household favorite. White or brown rice, whether instant or not, can be used in this dish. It always turns out great!

This recipe has good bones. I knew I would like it, but not as is. I sautéed the veggies in eevo, used four cloves of garlic (in my kitchen it’s always one per person, minimum), and an 8oz package of mushrooms, not eight mushrooms. I use salt-free chicken broth so I added 1 teaspoon of salt. Skipped the parsley.

Really good!! Made to pair with Perfect Chicken by Faith from this site. This is a really, really good side dish and would pair well with many other recipes. It was also really easy to make. Thanks Arizona Desert Flower!

I added green peppers and onions to the dish. A great side dish, was not as salty as I would have liked it, but delicious none-the-less. I would make it over and over.
Jacob Reese
Great! Surprisingly easy and satisfying!
David Hunt
I did saute the mushrooms in the butter at the start like others had suggested. It was a perfect side to the pork loin roast.
Heather Kelly
No parsley, unfortunately but my wife and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The only other change was that I fried the rice to use up the butter before I added the chicken broth. I found that the mushrooms were a very important ingredient to make it successful. It was yummo! Keeping this in my repertoire!

I liked it a lot. Had it for lunch and used the leftovers with some red fish I blackened. I used vegtable broth because I didn’t have any chicken and I sprinkled it with parm cheese so I kind of changed it but I didn’t realize I was out of chicken broth before I started it.
Matthew Perez
The whole family loved this! Used bone broth and added a bag of mixed frozen cooked vegetables at the end. Yummy taste and snuck in some veg too!
Lauren Bailey
Amazingly good!
Rachel Walker
great with steak and a terrific flavor
Jordan Smith
A tasty side dish with plenty of flavor, easy to put together too. I will make this one again.
Charles Rodriguez
Great easy and fast recipe. Made this while the leg of lamb was resting. I used dry parsley and diced onions because that’s what I had, and I doubled the mushrooms. Everyone loved it and it was ready in less than 20 minutes. I can see this recipe being easy to modify. Roasted pine nuts comes to mind. Beef broth can be used…a fun dish to play with.

Absolutely wonderful! Used 1 cup of canned chicken broth and 1 cup of water instead of 2 cups of canned broth to cut down on sodium.

I used jasmine rice and baby Bella’s. Awesome!
David Ramirez
This has been a staple in our house since I tried it 4 months ago. Lots of flavour – the rice cooks perfectly too! Thank you for sharing!
Jennifer Obrien
Easy and delish!
Kimberly Morales
Very good. I sauted the mushrooms and garlic (with onion powder as my husband wont eat actual onions) and then added that mixture to my boiling chicken broth (with an extra tsp of boullion) and instant brown rice. It was excellent, very flavorful and i will most definitely be making this a regular side dish.
Rita Powers
As I was having grilled salmon, I substituted chicken broth with Better than Bouillon Vegetable with water. It was outstanding.
Brandon Rodriguez
This is delicious! My kids loved it
Christopher Bailey
Made it as indicated in the recipe except for the chicken broth. I stay away from meat and meat products during Lent, so I used water instead. We salt our food at the table, and after a sprinkling of salt it was perfect.
Danielle Rosario
so good
