Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
- 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- garlic salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cover, lower the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20–25 minutes until rice is cooked.
- Fluff and serve warm.
Notes
- Recipe Tips
- Store leftover rice in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
- To freeze, let it cool to room temperature. Divide the rice into how many servings you want and put them into freezer-safe bags with a seal. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat. Thaw first if applicable. Transfer to a microwave-safe container and warm it up for 4-6 minutes in the microwave.
- You only need one lime to squeeze out 1 tablespoon of lime juice. For even more lime flavor add some lime zest.
- To avoid gummy rice be sure you don't add too much liquid.
- For fluffy rice rinse it before adding to the pot. For stickier rice don't rinse it.
- Reduce the heat as soon as the water boils to ensure an even cook.
- Use Basmati rice or Jasmine rice. You can use brown rice but may need to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
