Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 cup long-grain rice, rinsed
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

  3. Pour in the chicken broth, add the butter, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  5. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the rice in the saucepan for a few minutes before adding the broth.
