For a richer flavor, consider using chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. Add a bay leaf to the rice while it simmers for extra depth of flavor; remove before serving. Top with your favorite garnishes such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, salsa, or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spice. To make this dish even more nutritious, substitute brown rice for white rice. Note that brown rice will require a longer cooking time.
