Cilantro Garlic Lime Rice
"I'm serving my Crock-Pot Fiesta Chicken over this tonight. I am attempting a garlicky copycat of Chipotle's Cilantro Lime Rice, but my mom does not have any limes or Real Lime juice, so I'm having to make do with limemade. I'm not sure how that will turn out, but the Fiesta Chicken will probably be too spicy for DH and maybe the sweetness of the limemade will balance it."

Oh my! This is soooo good I could eat the whole pot of rice myself. I cooked this in my rice cooker and used regular long grain rice in place of the Minute Rice because that is what my family prefers. Also I am embarrassed to say I misread your recipe when I made my grocery list and I bought fresh limes instead of limeade. I added the juice of one lime and a dash of sugar to the broth as a substitute. I will definitely make this recipe again! Thanks for sharing JanieTeachGal. Made and reviewed for Spring PAC 09 -
Very good! I'm not a real fan of Spanish Rice, so this is a great alternative. I had some minute rice to use up, but I will try it with regular rice next time. -
Wonderful and easy to make.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I teach middle school ELA in a public school here. I like to cook sauces mostly. I have just begun to cook OAMC and make-ahead since acquiring a chest deep freeze. I love looking at all of the posted recipes on here! My day begins with checking out the previous day's new recipes add-ons, the chef of the day, and the most recent forum postings for OAMC. My pet peeves are Curry Chicken from a local restaurant (which seems to go with the more curry powder is more theory) and people who don't like flavorful foods. Update (5 months late, but sue me): I am the proud mama of a beautiful red-haired boy as of April 26, 2010. Already, his favorite foods are: bananas, carrots, pumpkin, applesauce, and roasted pears. He doesn't like potatoes; I know, go figure.</p>
