📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the rice in a 3- or 4-quart baking dish. Cover with very hot tap water and stir vigorously to clean and soften the rice. Drain the rice in a colander. Repeat twice with fresh hot water.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken base with 1 quart of very hot tap water. Mix well with a wire whisk.

Add the dissolved chicken base to the soaked rice, mix well, and place the rice in the oven uncovered for ⏱️ 15 minutes.
5
Remove the rice from the oven, add the melted butter, and mix thoroughly. Cover the dish and return it to the oven for 15 more minutes.
6
Meanwhile, combine the green and red bell peppers in a mixing bowl and cover them with very hot tap water. Set aside to soften.
7
When the rice has finished baking, drain and rinse the softened peppers. Add the peppers and cilantro to the rice, mix thoroughly, and serve.
