Green Chile Rice
Yield: Makes 6 servings
This gorgeous dish dressed up in cilatro-green pairs perfectly with savory grilled meats. If you wish, you can further reduce the amount of sodium by rinsing the chilies in a fine-meshed strainer before adding them to the rice.

1
can (about 14 ounces) fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth plus water to measure 2 cups

1

teaspoon dried oregano

1/2
teaspoon salt (optional)
