Ingredients

1 cup white rice (uncooked)

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 yellow onion

3 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tsp chicken boullion

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles (Muir Glen brand is what I used)

1/2 (8 ounces) can tomato sauce

1 (14.5 oz) can low sodium chicken broth

Directions

Add rice to a large colander, rinse under cold water for 1 minute.

In a large pan set over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add rice and sauté along with the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.

When the onion is tender and the garlic is translucent, add the bouillon, cumin, chili powder, paprika, black pepper, fire-roasted tomatoes with chilies, tomato sauce, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked throughout.

Remove from heat and serve immediately.
