Feel free to substitute for the olives by adding more onions, celery, or carrots. Personally, I think black or green olives add an unexpected little twist, but not everyone is as big a fan of olives as I am. My favorite pizza? A cheese pizza with nothing on top but tons of green olives.

An Easy Chicken Recipe: Chicken With Rice

Add enough water to cover and season with garlic, salt, and pepper.

**********
Anytime you’re making rice, substitute chicken broth for the water in the recipe and you’ll be blown away by the results. Somehow, chicken broth just takes rice to a whole new delicious level. Normally, I love butter on cooked rice but when you use chicken broth instead of water, you don’t need the butter at all.
