Can you make brown rice using chicken broth?

I want to make some brown rice and shrimp&veggies for lunch. I use brown rice and its usually bland, so i heard you can make it using chicken broth. Is this true? what else can i put into it? i would love to use fresh herbs, but its winter so all i got is jarred. I thought of using chives, but discovered i dont have any. i have parsley, all the italian seasonings, mustard seeds, mint and italian seasoning already combined. Please help me!
