You can switch to brown rice which has more nutritional value, and tastes much better in my opinion. takes longer to cook though, 50 mins + 10 for resting. I would suggest brown basmati or brown jasmine made with chicken stock. In addtion wild rice would be another option.
If you're looking for something completely different, though, try quinoa, the protein king of the vegetable world. you can make like rice. Barley is another excellent nutritional grain you can use as a side (try to find hulled barley, as pearled barley has very little nutritional value).
