Spicy Chipotle Rice

6 slices bacon, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cups long grain rice
3 cans (14 1/2-oz. each) chicken broth
1/2 cup water
3 chipotle chiles in adobe sauce (about 1/4 of a 7-oz. can), diced
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 green onions, chopped, some green tops included

In deep, heavy saucepan saute bacon with onion until onion is slightly tender, about 4 minutes.

Stir in rice; cook and stir to coat well.

Add chicken broth, water, chiles and salt. Bring to a boil; cover, lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for up to 15 minutes before serving.
