If you’re looking for an easy dinner that’s full of flavor, this recipe is for you. I LOVE cooking with hatch green chiles while they are in season, so I decided to add them into a simple rice dish. Everything was so easy and we had leftovers for days.

This would be a great recipe to meal prep for the week or serve at a dinner party with friends. Also, if pork isn’t your thing, you could always do pulled chicken. There’s tons of variations to do this dish, so get creative. Cheers!
