Ingredients
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced (about 3 garlic cloves)
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 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!
Notes
- Storing Instructions: Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- To reheat in the microwave, combine the rice and 1-2 tablespoons of water in a microwave safe container and mix well. Lay a wet paper towel over the rice and heat on high for about 30 seconds at a time until warmed through.
- To reheat on the stovetop, transfer rice to a small pot and stir in a splash of water. Mix well, then cover and turn heat to low. Continue to cook on very low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through.
