Note

For best results, ensure the rice mix is fully prepared before adding it to the skillet so it only needs to be heated through.

If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a little liquid to prevent the rice from drying out.

You can substitute the stewed tomatoes with diced tomatoes and a tablespoon of tomato paste for a richer flavor.
