TOTAL TIME

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they're tender and aromatic.

Add the pre-cooked rice to the pan and stir to combine with the cooked onion and garlic

Pour in the chicken broth, diced green chiles, sea salt, and half of the chopped cilantro, stirring well to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.

Remove from heat and add in the lime juice, lime zest, and remaining fresh cilantro. Stir well to distribute the flavor.

Allow the rice to rest for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving, allowing for the flavors to fully meld together.
