Arroz con Pollo Verde

This yummy dish can be made vegan and is still just as delicious! The combination of the flavors has just a hint of spiciness, but not too much for those of us who prefer not to burn our taste buds. It is a great casserole to make for a potluck dinner or to bring leftovers for lunch!

2 TBSP Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil

1 small onion, chopped
