Introduction
A tasty, colorful, very filling meal with a lot of room for improvisation. Good source of whole grains and protein. Most of the prep time is cooking the rice, so you can cook it as you perform other activities. Those watching their sodium may opt to use water instead of chicken broth.

1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 cup Long grain brown wild rice
1 tbsp. olive oil
Chili powder to taste
Cilantro to taste
Directions
Combine 1 cup long grain brown wild rice with 2.5 cups chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook and stir for approximately 15 minutes, adding cilantro and chili powder to taste. If you time it right, the chicken should finish at the same time as the rice.
