For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of water. Add a bay leaf to the simmering liquid for extra depth; remove before serving. Feel free to add other herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile. Try a pinch of saffron, thyme, or rosemary. This dish can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
