Scrub mussels with a brush, removing beards. Discard opened, cracked, or heavy mussels (they're filled with sand).

Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; add olive oil. Place over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and next 4 ingredients; saute 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Add tomato, wine, and chicken broth; cook, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add fish and mussels to tomato mixture; cover and cook 5 minutes or until mussels are open and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Place 1/2 cup rice in each individual serving bowl. Spoon 1 cup fish mixture over each serving. Sprinkle with parsley.
