This was served at a meeting-luncheon I attended. I think all the people attending wanted this recipe, so the organizer of the event asked the caterer for it. It's so easy, but so tasty! The caterer did caution that we shouldn't use instant rice for this as it gets mushy. The cooking time includes the time to cook the rice.
