Ingredients

  • 2 cups Rice Basmati, or another long-grain white rice
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth can substitute vegetable broth
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Garlic minced (about 3 garlic cloves)
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • cup Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the uncooked rice, chicken broth, butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Let simmer, without stirring, for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all water has absorbed. Keep the lid on your pan until you need to check to see if the rice is done.
  • Remove from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for about 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and fluff and stir the rice using a fork, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
