Hunter Family Herbed Rice is more than just a side—it’s a versatile dish that can be tailored to your taste. The fresh parsley and scallions bring brightness and a touch of green, while the savory chicken broth enhances the rice's natural flavors. Dried minced onion, salt, and freshly ground black pepper round out the seasonings, making this dish both comforting and satisfying.
