Amy's Sweet Green Chili Rice

One of my favorite classroom parents EVER shared this delish rice recipe with me-- and it changed my life! Haha. But, really...It's so good that I decided to name it after her! Usually I do not really like Mexican-style rice because it tends to be so dry and flavorless. Amy's rice is moist and FULL of flavor. I think I've made it twice a week since she shared the recipe with me! Try it as a side dish, on a taco, in a burrito, etc. You won't be disappointed!

Amy, you are one of the sweetest people I know. I feel blessed to know you and more than that, I feel honored to have had your sweet baby girl in my class! Thank you for this delicious recipe!
