Becky s Easy Cilantro Lime Rice

½ onion, chopped

1 (4 ounce) can green chilies

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 lime, juiced

½ bunch cilantro, chopped

3 cups water

4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter, softened

3 cups uncooked instant rice

Blend the onion, green chiles, garlic, and lime juice together in a food processor until smooth; add the cilantro and pulse until the cilantro is finely chopped into the mixture.

Bring the water to boil in a saucepan. Stir the cilantro mixture, chicken bouillon granules, salt, butter, and rice into the water and return to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer until the rice has absorbed the liquid entirely, about 20 minutes.
