📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat the olive oil and butter until melted and bubbly. Add in the onions and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about ⏱️ 3 minutes.

3
Add the Rotel and chicken stock to the skillet with the onion mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer for about ⏱️ 22 minutes.
4
Remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Rice should not be sticky. Serve and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.(Sometimes I'll brown some seasoned ground beef or sausage on the side and mix that into the cooked rice for a meal - so good!)
fresh chopped cilantro (, for serving, optional)
