One Pot Green Chili Rice with Chicken

One Pot Green Chili Rice with Chicken is a quick and easy one pot dinner recipe!

I love one pot meals. They are easy to make and the mess is usually easy to clean up. I have also found that many of them are inexpensive family friendly meals. Meaning they use basic ingredients that my whole family loves.

I made this recipe several times last fall and my family loved it. Life got crazy during the holidays and I never got it shared with you. I knew that I needed to fix that because we can all use more quick and easy one pot meals.

If you don’t have green salsa, I think you could easily change this up and use regular salsa. Although it would no longer be one pot green chili rice. My family likes the flavor of green salsa though and it is a nice way to change up Mexican type food.

And I really had trouble getting good pictures of this. Green rice doesn’t photograph well, so I am just going with these less than perfect photos. Sometimes the best food is the least attractive food. Just keeping it real for you.
