This was pretty simple recipe, but something I will be making more often as a side dish. Plus it's simple to do some variations on, such as substituting jalapenos for the zucchini.
1 Cup of Minute Rice
1 Cup of shredded zucchini
1 Cup of chicken stock
1/2 Cup of shredded Italian Cheese Blend
Put the first three ingredients in a container with a tight fitting lid and microwave for 6 minutes. You need a tight lid so the moisture doesn't escape or the lid doesn't pop off otherwise the rice won't cook properly and will be very dry.
After cooking, fluff rice with fork and add cheese and gently blend. Cheddar would work great in this as well, or perhaps swap out some of the Italian Cheese Blend for some Parmesan.
The Cheddar/Jalapeno combo came out great too. It actually re-heated pretty well too, which I wasn't expecting - I thought the cheese would curdle up and/or separate too much, but it didn't.
