Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rice (white or brown)
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 head roasted garlic (see note)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir, put the lid on the pot, and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 25-30 minutes (or the appropriate cooking time listed on the package of rice). Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Chop the roasted garlic and gently stir it into the cooked rice. Place the saucepan back over low heat.
- Add the heavy cream, parmesan, and butter. Stir until butter and cheese are melted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm topped with more parmesan and chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.

Notes
- Nutritional information is based on using white rice.
- To make roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Remove the loose paper skin from the head of garlic, leaving the cloves intact. Cut off the top of the garlic head, exposing the tops of the cloves, and place it on a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle a little olive oil over the head of garlic, seal the foil around it, and place it in an oven-safe dish. Roast for 40-45 minutes until it's golden brown and soft. Remove the garlic from the oven and allow it to cool. To remove the cloves, squeeze them out of the head or use a fork to dislodge each clove. (The roasted garlic can be made in advance.)
