I wanted a Greek flavored rice to go with a lemon & feta chicken I was making for dinner and came up with this. Both my family and I enjoyed it very much.

Ingredients

	Tbsp Smart Balance Margarine
⅛	cup chopped shallots
⅛	cup chopped carrots
2	tsp lemon juice, divided
1	package Trader Joe's Rice Medley
2	Tbsp chicken broth
	Garlic salt to taste

Directions

Melt butter in a small skillet and saute shallots and carrots until tender, about 5 minuets. Turn off heat and stir in a tsp of lemon juice. Cook rice according to directions. Meanwhile, combine the other tsp of lemon juice with chicken broth and stir into shallot mixture. Let this simmer over low heat. Once rice is cooked, turn heat off the shallot mixture and add the rice to it. Stir in garlic salt to taste and enjoy.
