I didn't have a can of green chilies, but still enjoyed this recipe. As other reviews, I did add l/2 can of drained black beans. I cooked the rice in chicken broth spiked w/chili powder and a bit of chunky salsa to taste and served it on the side, along with warmed flour tortillas, in case we'd want to stuff the filling as a burrito. Made in memory of MEP, who will be missed by so many of us.

Quick, easy and filling weeknight meal. I had the chicken already baked, so added it to the cooked onion and garlic mixture. With fire-roasted tomatoes, 1/2 can black beans and fat free cheddar served over brown rice, we had a very nice WW Core meal. Thanks MEP! Made for Chef Zaar Alphabet Soup tag game.
