Chickenless Vegan Herb Rice (Rice-A-Roni Copycat Recipe)
Why can't they make a vegan version of rice-a-roni? Well, since they haven't done it yet, I decided to do it myself. This rice is full of flavor and the texture is spot on. Serve it with some vegan chickenless patties and you have the perfect dinner combination.
