What You Need:
1 cup instant white rice {or you can mix brown and white, which I have done}
1 tablespoon butter
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper
fresh herbs if you like
Directions:
Melt butter in the bottom of a large saucepan or skillet. Add uncooked rice and toss with the butter. Let the rice brown a bit, stirring often so it does not burn, for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the chicken broth and 1/4 cup of the lemon juice. Add salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes. Now, do a taste test. You are checking to see if the rice needs more liquid and it most likely does. Add liquid in 1/2 cup increments and cover and simmer again, checking each time for the rice being fully cooked. You will also add more lemon juice, if desired, in tablespoon increments as well as more salt and pepper to taste. Throw is some chopped fresh herbs if you like. I do sometimes depending what I have on hand! Once the rice is fully cooked, remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Probably our most favorite rice side. Just love it and make different versions all the time. Thanks for another one to try.
