1 (14 ounce) can low-sodium chicken broth
¾ cup uncooked brown rice
½ cup water
olive oil
1 (8 ounce) package sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 large green bell pepper, diced
1 large red onion, diced

1 cup hot water
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

Combine chicken broth, rice, and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until rice is almost tender, about 15 minutes.
