I make this about once a week. It has become a staple. I used to buy Zatarain's New Orleans Style Yellow rice. Now I use this recipe instead. I made it as written the first time and fell in love with it. Now I use the same basic recipe and add my own flare by adding stuff like:
-Red Pepper
-Chicken Cubes
-Chicken Bullion
-Parsley
-Creole Seasoning
