Green Goddess rice with Pearl Onion Chicken Stew

This Green Goddess rice recipe is from one of the food network programs "Five Ingredient fix". I really like some of the recipes she makes. And the first time I saw this recipe that day itself I made it and it became my favourite instantly. Its soooo creamy. The people you serve it to, will wonder what the source of the cream is :)
             To go with it, I made this curry or stew with pearl or baby onions and chicken. And together the combination is awesome. Do try
