All great suggestions to make the chicken better. Here's one to make the rice taste a little better.
I use a rice cooker for all my rice cooking. I cook 2 cups(dry) of rice at a time. I use 2 cups of low sodium, low fat, chicken or beef broth from the can and to that add an additional 3 cups water. Put all the liquid and rice into the cooker, then add a good 10 shakes of some flavor of MRS. Dash. I prefer the South West Chipotle(nice n spicy).
This works wonders for making a bland staple of all our diets a little more palitable.
Enjoy
