Spanish Rice With Brown Rice Recipes

You cant even tell the difference and I am serious!!

Full of flavor and healthy!

This was a tasty and quick weeknight meal.

This is my lean version of Spanish Rice the way my Mom made it. She made it with ground beef and white rice and made her own enchilada sauce. I kicked it up with the cayenne because it is a good appetite suppressant and we like spicy foods.

I'm on a diet so I only eat 1/4c of dry which amounts to about 1/2cup cooked. Normally made with white rice, I use brown for the nutritional value. You can make it with the rice of your choice, just adjust calories accordingly.

Spanish Rice made with brown rice

In 5- to 6-quart Dutch oven, heat oil on medium-high until hot. Sprinkle chicken all over with salt and black pepper; cook, in 2 batches, about 6 minutes per batch, until lightly browned on both sides. With tongs, transfer chicken pieces to small roasting pan (13- by 9-inch) or jelly-roll pan (1 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch).
Cover roasting pan with foil and bake chicken 25 to 30 minutes or until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced with tip of knife.
Meanwhile, in same Dutch oven, cook green peppers, garlic, and onion about 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in paprika and cook 30 seconds. Add tomatoes with their juice, broth, and rice; heat to boiling on high. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in frozen green beans and olives.
