This is insanely good! I used 2/3 of the cilantro before the pan went into the oven and then stirred the remaining 1/3 in before serving. I enjoyed this together with carne guisada 84098 from this site. The only thing I would change for next time would be to add some pico de Gallo to the combo! Wonderful! Thanks!

The smell is delicious and so is the taste of this rice without the jalapeno which I didnt add as we dont like spicy hot. I served the rice as Middle Eastern which worked perfect without the jalapeno. I replaced the butter with canola oil as we are dairy free. I used white Basmati rice which was great and homemade chicken stock, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. I served this with Recipe #386289. I will definitely make this rice again.

I have been looking for this recipe for years. It has a very nice flavor! It did seem very salty to me, but that could have been because I used homemade chicken broth. The only thing I changed was I added 4oz of canned chopped mild devained jalapenos instead of the 1-2 listed and I also used brown rice which was wonderful but needed to cook about an hour with double the chicken broth to keep it cooking. Thank you so much!!

This was great rice! I loved it! I made this with the green chilies instead of jalapenos because that is what I had on hand and I also microwaved my rice instead of baking because I was in a time crunch to get dinner on the table. It came out wonderful! So keep that in mind if your oven is already full. We had this as a side dish with tacos and it was perfect. Thank you for sharing!

I live 30 miles north of Dallas, TX. I work for JC Penney Home Office. I love being a wife and the mother of three beautiful girls ages 17, 7 and 22 months. (What the heck was I thinking??) We add Junior (a Boston Terrier pup) to the pack Christmas '04. I love to cook but don't have much time to. I am glad I found this site with people who appreciate food as much as I do. If I had the time and money I would start all over and become a professional chef!! Who knows........Maybe I'll win the lottery.
