Ingredients:

• 1 2/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon capers
• 1/4 cup slivered almonds

 

Directions:

In a large saucepan, over high heat bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until rice is fluffy.
