This recipe was pretty simple and quite good. I used three jalapenos, but almost nothing is too hot for me. The rice was perfectly done and the loin chops I used were tender and tasty.

I used a can of diced tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes, sliced red bell peppers in place of jalapenos, and just the chicken broth for liquid. Will definitely make this again!
