For a spicier kick, add a fresh jalapeño to the blender along with the other green ingredients. Adjust the amount of chicken broth depending on the type of rice you are using. Some rice varieties may require more liquid. For a vegetarian option, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. This rice can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
