Rice Pilaf

Recently I baked some chicken for dinner and realized I didn’t have any potatoes for a side dish. I quickly ran to my computer in search of a quick and easy side dish recipe with ingredients that I had in my pantry. This dish was flavorful, moist and tender. The only change I made was adding a seasoning called Zatar to compliment the dish I was serving. We enjoyed it with the Zatar, but I have listed that ingredient as “optional”. Feel free to add your favorite seasoning or skip any additions as this side dish is delicious without any extras! Thanks to Sarah Billings on allrecipes.com for sharing the recipe.
