  • 1 small can green chiles
  • ¾ cup uncooked rice I used basmati
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼-1/2 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients except chicken in a large pot and stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer about 20 minutes until rice is barely done.
