Rice Cooker Spanish Rice – Jasmine rice is cooked with chicken broth, onions, tomatoes, and spices to make it super flavorful, but also easy to do! Just throw the ingredients in a rice cooker and watch it all come together!
Making rice in a rice cooker if my favorite method. I always seem to burn rice when made on the stove. No matter what I do! But since using a rice cooker almost a decade ago, my rice comes out perfectly fluffy every time. I love that I can just add the ingredients, turn on the cooker, and it does all the work.
Today, I’d like to share my recipe for a flavorful rice you can do in the rice cooker. That’s right – just because you’re using a rice cooker doesn’t mean the rice has to be plain. This recipe is for my Rice Cooker Spanish Rice, made with tomatoes, onions, and spices. You just throw all the ingredients in the pot, cover, and turn on. The work is all done for you!
Here is my Rice Cooker Spanish Rice!
Tips & Tricks
- Include tomato juice. When measuring the canned diced tomatoes, make sure to include some of the juice. We need this juice to help cook the rice.
- Dice onions and mince garlic small. To ensure the onions and garlic blend well into the rice, make sure they are diced/minced into small pieces.
- Don’t skip chicken broth. Chicken broth is essential to the flavor of this rice. So don’t substitute it for water.
