rice-ipe for success

It isn't often that I make a dish for which everybody wants the recipe but last week--during my Side Dish Challenge--I did. It's pretty straightforward, this Simmered Italian Rice; rice, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, Parmesan. Oh, and fresh spinach. Who couldn't do that? Apparently my brother thinks he can. His cooking knowledge is limited, so I was definitely surprised when he asked for this recipe.
I've been trying to choose my sides based on their ingredients complimenting the main dish, so I served this alongside Mediterranean Herb Crusted Tilapia (which, apparently, I hadn't mentioned here before. Huh).

Technically, the bun is optional but I just have to recommend these Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts.  I thought it sounded like a different kind of chicken sandwich for me and I'd never made a rub before. I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
