I love easy side dishes. I usually spend so much time on the main dish, that I don't want to fool too much with the sides. I am guilty of pulling out a box of rice or pasta. I am trying to get better and make more sides from scratch! This easy recipe for Parmesan Mushroom Rice is just as easy as the boxed stuff but tastes SO much better!

This Parmesan Mushroom Rice was ready in about 20 minutes and only required about 5 minutes of hands on time to make. I sautéed the mushrooms, added the garlic, rice, chicken broth and milk, let it simmer and then stirred in the cheese and parsley. So easy and SOOO delicious! If you aren't fans of mushrooms, you can definitely leave them out. This rice will taste great either way.
