Rice is the backbone of so many comforting, crowd-pleasing dinners, and these rice recipes are some of my favorites. Make a big pot of One-Pot Arroz con Pollo, tender chicken simmered with rice, tomatoes, chorizo and olives, or recreate a New York street-food favorite at home with Halal Cart-style Chicken and Rice with White Sauce and golden saffron rice. Rice is also the base of my favorite easy bowls, like a Grilled Mahi Mahi bowl with fajita-spiced fish, or Garlic Ginger Tofu with avocado, sesame seeds and nori.
