4 cups chicken broth(I use Low sodium ones)
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
2 celery ribs, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1/3 cup uncooked long grain rice
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro or parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 -25 minutes or until rice and vegtables are tender. Yield 6 servings.
One serving(prepared with low sodium brothe and without salt) equals 135 calories, 100mg sodium, 31mg cholesterol, 17gm carbohydrate, 11gm protein, 3gm fat, 2gm fiber.
Very tasty,,,, I used the 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper,, because I did not use the salt.
