Quick & Easy Rice & Veggies Side Dish

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!
