Pueblo Rice
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 3/4 cups diced celery
1 1/4 cups diced carrot
1 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 cup pineapple juice
1 1/2 cubes of vegetable stock (base) dissolved in 1 cup of hot water
3 cups of water
1 cups of diced red and green (mixed) bell peppers
3 cups rice
Chicken and Vegetables
4 (6-oz.) chicken breasts
3 1/2 cups veggies (zucchini, yellow squash, red onions, red & green bell peppers)
1 sprinkle parmesan cheese (on veggies)
4 each corn on the cob
2 3/4 cups pueblo rice (see recipe below)
To make the Pueblo Rice: Saute the veggies in the oil and butter until cooked. Add seasoning salt, pineapple juice, vegetable stock, and water, and bring to a simmer. Add bell pepper and rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook (covered) - approx. 15 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand until rice is tender. (Makes more than needed for the recipe)
To make the chicken and vegetables: Grill chicken breasts about 4 1/2 minutes on each side. Place veggies in the microwave to steam approx. 2 minutes. Place thawed corn in the microwave to steam approx. 3 minutes. Arrange chicken, rice, corn on the cob and veggies on a plate, garnish veggies with parmesan cheese.
