I know there are others of you out there who adore Chipotle’s food, and especially that rice of there’s they got going on. And some of you are saying Chipotle who? Even better. When you make this recipe it will be a whole new rice experience to enjoy! A common pairing at this restaurant chain is their spicy chicken over rice, which I prefer, so when conjuring up tonight’s dinner I thought about making a spicy breaded chicken to go with it.

Full recipe below.

Chipotle Rice Recipe
(This is not the “official” recipe, but I find this version to be easy to make getting you the same outcome)

4 cups long grain white rice
4 cups water
2 tsp salt
4 tbsp oil (canola/vegetable)
6 tsp fresh cilantro
1 to 2 limes (Depending on your preference; I cut them into 4 pieces making them easier to squeeze)

Boil water and then throw in rice and salt, stir and remove from heat. Keep covered to allow rice to steam and soften. Then put in a large mixing bowl, add the oil, cilantro and lime juice. Toss until mixed. Serve immediately.

Chicken (if you’re curious)
I used Hot n Spicy Shake and Bake over boneless skinless chicken breasts. Cooked as instructed on the package.

That’s it!
