Instructions
- Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add yellow onion and saute until starting to deepen in color, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute until just barely starting to deepen in color (not browned), about 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken broth, season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil.
- Add rice and stir once, cover with a snug lid then reduce heat to low. Let simmer until liquid has been absorbed, about 15 - 18 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let rest 5 - 10 minutes. Add remaining 3 Tbsp butter, toss and fluff with a fork.
- Serve warm garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Jasmine rice will cook more near 15 minutes, long grain rice will take closer to 18 minutes to cook.
- For lemon garlic butter rice replace 2 1/2 Tbsp chicken broth with fresh lemon juice and add 1/2 tsp lemon zest.
- In higher altitude add an additional 2 Tbsp broth.
