Ingredients

  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth/stock
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add oil to the non-stick pan (recommended). Turn up the heat to medium-high. Add chopped onions, garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add rice and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until lightly toasted. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes (rice should be tender, not soggy and liquid should be fully absorbed). Remove the pan from the heat source. Let rest with lid on for another 10 minutes. Remove lid.
  • Add lemon juice, chopped parsley and mix. Season with salt & pepper to taste.

Serve & enjoy!
