Chris loves rice, Dillon hates it lol. I decided to make some rice for Chris last night for dinner but I wanted to do something different than what I would usually make.
I knew I still had some leftover zucchini from the lasagna and I had some tomato and onion. From that I knew what I was going to make. And cooking it in the microwave made it a 15 minute side dish, including chopping the veggies!
I hope you enjoy!

I used the following ingredients to make my Quick & Easy rice dish.
I put the broth, instant rice, water, soya sauce, basil and diced zucchini in a microwave safe bowl.
I microwaved it on high for about 6 minutes until the rice was nice and fluffy and the zucchini had softened a bit, stirring half way through.
I added the parmesan, tomatoes and onions and microwaved it for an additional 2 minutes.
And here is my Quick & Easy Rice & Veggies side dish!
