Baked Rice Pilaf

"If you’re tired of serving plain rice with dinner, this baked rice pilaf is a simple, delicious upgrade. Pilaf is a fluffy rice side dish cooked in broth with vegetables and herbs, and this version includes carrots, celery, onion, fresh parsley and chicken bouillon."  Comment from Taste of Home

This rice pilaf looks like it is delicious on its own, but I would love to add chicken or pork to make it a main dish.

"Olive Garden's breadsticks are the stuff of legends, in part because they're so fresh and warm. But these copycat breadsticks come out of your oven, hot and ready to brush with melted garlic butter." Comment from Simply Recipes

Love Olive Garden and these breadsticks!
