Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice, long-grain, regular, dry
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1⁄4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 3⁄4 cup Fresh celery
• 1 cup Fresh onions, peeled, diced
• 1 1⁄4 cups Fresh carrots, peeled, shredded
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1⁄2 cup low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 1⁄2 cups Cooked fajita chicken strips, diced 1" (12 oz)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 °F.
2. Combine brown rice and 2 ½ cups water in large pot and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low. Cover and cook until water is absorbed, about 30-40 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Set aside. A rice cooker may be used with the same quantity of brown rice and water.

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine curry powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and yogurt. Add vegetables, brown rice, and chicken. Mix well.
5. Pour mixture into a 9” x 9” nonstick baking pan. Bake uncovered at 400 °F for 15 minutes. Heat to an internal temperature of 165 °F or higher for at least 15 seconds (use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature). Serve hot.
