Garlic Cilantro Lime Rice

Chipotle is on the list of my favorite places to eat out. I think this rice recipe reminds me a lot of the rice they serve at Chipotle. We cooked this rice dish up with some sauteed chicken strips with peppers and onions and I heated some black beans up. We made chicken and rice bowls and they were delicious. Do what you wish with this rice side dish. It would be just as tasty on its own.

Serves: 8
Adapted by: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe/index.html

Ingredients
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups brown long-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon lite salt
3 to 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
juice of 3 limes
chopped cilantro, for garnish

Directions
-Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook for 4 minutes.
-Reduce heat to low and add rice and salt. Brown the rice for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking/burning.
-Add 2 cups of broth and the juice of 2 limes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until rice is done. Add more chicken broth, if needed to finish cooking the rice.
-Just before serving, stir in additional juice of 1 lime and chopped cilantro. Stir together and serve hot.

Enjoy! :)
