*This is really yummy! I served this with Tandoori Chicken...Tandoori Chicken. The next day I wanted something TexMex...so I added the leftover sliced chicken, salsa, fat free cheddar cheese (melted it over the whole thing) and it was like a whole new dish! Very satisfying! Hope you try it!
Makes 4-1 cup servings
2 cups instant brown rice, uncooked 3 cups fat free chicken broth 1 can stewed tomatoes (undrained) 1 can chick peas, rinsed and drained 2 cups baby spinach 1 small onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tsp curry powder 2 tsp olive oil Kosher salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until tender and translucent. Do not burn the garlic. Add chicken broth, rice, tomatoes, chick peas and curry powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in spinach leaves. Replace lid and let sit for 10 minutes or until all of liquid is absorbed. Stir and serve hot or cold.
