We are a rice-eating family, so I'm always looking for ways to jazz it up. I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to try it. It was so easy and delicious that it's going to find a permanent spot in my meal planning.
Here's what you need:
1 cup brown or white rice
Chicken broth (2 cups if using brown rice, 1 1/2 if using white rice)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 teas garlic powder
1/2 teas sea salt
1 (4 oz) can chopped mild green chiles
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (you can use sour cream as suggested in original recipe)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
In a saucepan or rice cooker, combine the rice, chicken broth, onions and garlic powder. Cook according to package or rice cooker directions until tender.
Stir in the salt, chiles, cream and 1 cup of cheese. Mix well, then transfer to a greased 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
This looks wonderful! Oh and if you add drained black beans for protein and maybe some chopped spinach you would have a one dish meal. I may try it our soon! Thanks.
