Spanish Rice with Chicken and Beans

 Trisha (United States) says:
SAZ-SON = sazòn = Spanish seasoned salt. Recipe: 1 tbsp of each of the following: salt, ground coriander, ground cumin, (paprika or ground annatto seed), garlic powder. Use 1.5 tsp (1/2 tbsp) for each packet called for. I added another "packet" of sazòn to the red beans, and also more salt, to taste (between 1/2 and 1 tbsp). "to taste" salt added to chicken and rice was approx 1 tbsp. Recipe turned out pretty awesome!!

My husband loves it, he said his grandmother who is passed away made something close it this and that made me happy. Trisha thank you so much for posting how to make SAZ-SON it was just right. I also followed what you said about adding more as well as more salt. This is now a part of my family recipe collection. I am making it again tonight.
