Notes
You may need to adjust water amount based on the rice you use and your altitude.
To cut the recipe in half, use the full amount of chicken broth but half of the water for a total of 2 cups of liquid.
Fresh or frozen green chiles are better than canned but may not be available everywhere.
The tomato and green chile cans can be replaced with RO-TEL which is a pre-mixed can of tomatoes and chiles. They have different heat levels to meet even your pickiest eater's needs.
