  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 fluid ounces Mexican beer
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 fresh red chile pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a saucepan, bring the water and rice to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes, until rice is tender.

I tried this recipe last nite and it was extremely bitter. It would likely be fine with just 1-3 slices of lemon or lime.

Bitter and sour. I decreased the amount of citrus as recommended by the second reviewer, but it didn't help. Would not make again.
