Notes
Once the rice has been covered, try not to lift the lid until the rice is done.
Chicken broth can be substituted with 2 cups of boiling water plus a bouillon cube.
Sazon con azafran contains saffron and that is what gives the rice a yellow color.
This works best when the chicken broth has been preheated.
