"Quick" rice and beans - seasoning?

Hi, there!

1. what the hell happened to everyone?

2. I have leftover Jerk chicken breast that I want to shred tonight and mix in with some rice and beans.

3. It will be 20 minute (brown) rice and canned beans, so any tips for flavoring or making it taste like it cooked for hours?  I plan to add the beans to the rice boil, before I put it to simmer so they'll soften more.  I have saffron.  I don't have any fresh herbs.

Most people got pissed at TN and moved to proboards

Do you have onion, peppers and chicken broth?  This recipe that I make is easy, and the addition of onion and pepper just before finishing gives a nice fresh flavor. I know you said you don't have fresh herbs, but it should still be delicious without the cilantro.

My favorite rice and beans recipe starts by sauteeing onion, then adding some minced garlic, onion powder, diced bell pepper, and crushed red pepper. So good!
