Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a skillet with a lid pour in oil over medium heat. When oil is ready add tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and corn. Saute about 5 minutes or until veggies start getting soft. Feel free to add more oil as needed.
  2. Add uncooked rice and tomato sauce to skillet with veggies. Stir around until rice looks pink and mixture is getting dry.
  3. On the back of the rice package look to see how much water is needed for the rice to cook. Once you find out how much water you need add that amount of chicken broth to the mixture instead of the water.
  4. Add Seasonings to taste and when the mixture starts to boil, Cover, reduce heat and simmer until all water is absorbed. Do not stir. When rice is done fluff with fork and enjoy!
