wow, WAY too much dry thyme! Should've read the reviews! I thought it was too much, so I didn't add near as much, but still too strong! 1 teaspoon probably would work, (or 1tblsp fresh as reviewed) It would probably be a good thing to modify this recipe page to clarify!

I only used a TEASPOON of thyme, and it turned out great.

Very good! I only added 1 teaspoon of thyme and 1 teaspoon of parsley, black pepper. Sauteed in minced garlic.

I did not care for this recipe. One tablespoon dried thyme is probably four times more what one should use...I love strong flavors but this was too much even for me! I ended mixing up some spinach into the mix to make it more palatable, but I will not be making this again, or if I do I will use fresh thyme instead.

This is not the recipe that I submitted. The recipe does not need this much thyme.

I thought it was great, I did not have chicken stock so I used vegetable broth instead, more on that in a minute. Outside of that the only other thing I did different was add the zest from the lemon in the begining and as pointed out in previous reviews used a tsp. of dried thyme. Now as for the vegetable broth I don't think a dish like this needed the extra flavor, next time I make this (which will be soon) I am going to use water and let the lemon and thyme flavors shine through. Overall I served it with steamed artichokes and it was simply fantastic!

If you have a rice cooker, use it for this recipe!! I only gave 4/5 stars because it needed modifications. I used 1 Tbs. of dillweed instead of thyme, and 3-4 Tbs. of lemon juice. Threw all ingrediants in rice cooker, flip the switch and let the cooker do its thing. The rice came out with a slightly sticky texture in which I love, but overall I will definitely will be using this one again!!

I DID NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL ....TOO MUCH THYME

I followed other suggestions to use only a teaspoon of dried thyme and the thyme still overpowered the rice.

i like rice and lemon but this recipe wasn't that good so i had to make it my own. instead of boiling the rice in plain water i boiled it in chicken stock or you can use broth which ever one you like. then instead of the teaspoon or tablespoon use one sprig of fresh tyme and put it in the broth with the rice and take the stick out when done. i seen that on rachel ray, and it worked out great. thanks rachel. try it you will enjoy!

Very subtle nice lemon flavor. Used it as a way to spice up some plain rice I was making as a side dish. My boyfriend also said he liked it, which doesn't happen much.

This was really good. I also added 1 tsp of onion powder, and only added about 3/4 tsp of dried thyme. I was almost out of lemon juice, so I used 1 Tbsp of lemon juice and 2 1/2 Tbsp of lime juice. Everyone loved it. My husband said it would be great with dill instead of thyme and served with fish.

I really liked this. I made some changes other reviewers had made. 1 - I used more lemon juice - about 2.5 Tbsp (but I wasn't too exact with that). 2 - I used a random amount of thyme - just eyeballed it - and it was fresh thyme. 3 - I added a bit of garlic powder. This seemed to take a really long time to cook, but I think it was just my warped pan. Really tasty! I'd make it again.

Made exactly as written, and the thyme is pretty overpowering. Still, we liked it. Will make again, but with half the thyme.

This rice was very good, but the thyme was just a little too strong for my liking. Next time I make it I'll either lessen the amount of thyme (maybe by 1/2) or just skip it altogether. Even so, it was still tasty and goes wonderfully with the Chicken with Lime Butter sauce recipe that can also be found on this site.

I made this, but with a few adjustments. First, I used lime juice instead of lemon; secondly, I substituted cilantro for the thyme, because I am not big on thyme. Fantastic! Definitely will make this again! Also, this would make a great bast for a lot of the cold rice salads served so often in the summer! Yum-thanks!

Terrific recipe with some slight modifications! I increased lemon to 3-4 tbl, reduced thyme to 1 tsp, added 1 tsp onion powder and some fresh garlic. My DH devoured everything left in the pan! I served it with salmon and the lemon was a great accompaniment. Thanks so much! </
