Cilantro-Lime Rice

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup diced yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 1/2 cups dry long grain white rice
• 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, divided
• 1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

Directions

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and saute 1 minute then add garlic and rice and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour in chicken broth, 2 1/2 Tbsp lime juice, the green chilies (undrained) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 20 minutes (without removing lid). Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, stir in cilantro and remaining 1/2 Tbsp lime juice if desired (taste to see if you want the additional 1/2 Tbsp lime juice first) and let rest 10 minutes then serve warm.
