Green rice can be many things from a rice and broccoli bake to a pesto risotto to an herb and asparagus rice, to a parsley rice, to a mushroom and spinach rice and lots in between.
I have even made a pistachio rice pudding for Saint Patrick's day.
What are you looking for? Asking for a favorite green rice recipe is a little like asking for a favorite red jam recipe.

Yes, I do need to narrow that down a bit. Thanks Linda. I am asking for the broccoli rice casserole that is the standard asked for dish for Christmas dinners.

I'll probably get 20 lashes with a wet noodle for posting something with all these canned soups in them, but my family adores this casserole!

BROCCOLI RICE AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

1 pkg. frozen broccoli florets
1 small onion, chopped
2 Tblsp. butter
2 cups cooked rice
1 can Cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
Grated Cheddar cheese
Sauté onion in butter until soft. Place frozen broccoli in colander, run hot tap water over and rinse well. Place soups in bowl and thin with 1/2 cup milk. Combine onion, rice, broccoli, and soup mixture and stir. Pour into greased 1-1/2 qt. casserole. Bake, covered, 20 minutes in a 350° F. oven. Uncover and top with cheese. Bake until cheese melts and browns lightly.

This one doesn't have broccoli, but is a perennial potluck favorite here.

GREEN CHILE, CHEESE, AND RICE CASSEROLE

1 cup long grain rice
2 cups boiling water
1 tsp. salt
1 Tblsp. butter
1 (4 oz.) can diced green chiles
1-1/3 cups sour cream
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
2 cups Colby Jack cheese, shredded

Cook rice according to directions in water with salt and butter. Combine rice, chiles, sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic, cumin, and 1-1/2 cups of the cheese. Turn into a greased 1-1/2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top. Bake, uncovered, in a 350° F. oven for about 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and rice is heated through. Serves 6 to 8.

Site search engine turned up this, posted by BeckyCa in August. I can't say that broccoli rice casserole is commonly requested at my Christmas table and I'd have guessed rice pilaf with herbs as "green rice.

Darn, I was hoping you meant the kind with poblanos, cilantro, parsley, etc. I haven't found a recipe for that I like, and it was one of my favorite sides at the little restaurant we used to frequent.

Thanks SO much! All sound wonderful and may just make all of them. My family loves to have the "carry out" food from our Christmas dinners~they will be very happy!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!!
