Better Than Chipotle Rice
Flavorful rice with cilantro, lime, green chilies, garlic, and onion. A perfect Mexican side dish that tastes amazing all on its own!
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups white rice rinsed (I use long grain rice.)
- 2 ¼ cups chicken broth
- 1 ½ Tbsp salted butter
- ¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 4 oz can diced green chilies
- 1 ½ tsp garlic salt
- 1 Tbsp dry minced onion
- 1 ½ tsp granulated sugar
- 1 ½ tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Finely chop the cilantro, discarding the thick stems.
- Rinse the rice in cold water, drain well.
- Pour rice, broth, butter, cilantro, green chilies, garlic salt, onion, sugar, and lime juice into a rice cooker. Select "white rice" setting and cook till done.
- Stir to blend ingredients. Serve immediately.
Notes
For stovetop: Combine all ingredients in a large pot, adding an additional 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high. Turn heat to low, cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit 5-10 minutes, then stir to blend ingredients. It will be more sticky and less fluffy than the rice cooker method.
