I thought so. The recipe comment was from several years ago and didn't say anything else other than the (supposed) vegetarian family member loving the rice. If there was an option to reply to a comment I would point about that the rice is not vegetarian because the chicken cooks directly on top of it Maybe some people are confused on what exactly vegetarianism isLTS3 Chicken drippings on rice casserole is a big no-no for any vegetarian.
