Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons extra light olive oil
• 2/3 large onion, chopped
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup water
• 2/3 cup frozen peas and carrots
• 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with jalapefios, drained
• 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder; cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
2. Stir in the broth and water. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, corn, and peas and carrots; return to a simmer. Cook covered, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
