    This is the rice pilaf recipe that I served with the pecan chicken....it is really good! I didn't add the jalepeno pepper because my one son doesn't really like spicy a whole lot, but if you do, be sure to add it!
    Enjoy!

    Green Rice Pilaf
    With its mild heat and full flavors, this side pairs well with a variety of entrees, especially Southwest or Mexican specialties. —Sherri Melotik, Oak Creek, Wisconsin
    6 ServingsPrep: 35 min. Bake: 15 min.
    Ingredients
    1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    1 tablespoon canola oil
    1 cup uncooked long grain rice
    1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
    1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
    1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
    1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
    Directions
    In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add rice; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
    Add the broth, chilies, jalapeno, cumin, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in cheese and cilantro. Transfer to a 1-1/2-qt. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 375° for 14-16 minutes or until rice is tender.
