Greek Rice
Report
This Greek rice recipe just needs about 5 minutes of hands on time and it turns out so fresh and flavorful, thanks to the lemon and fresh herbs. We serve this up often and it's a huge hit with my family.

Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the rice, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the rice is lightly golden at the tips and the onions have softened.
- Add the chicken broth and Greek seasoning to the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes over medium low heat.
- Turn off the heat and let the pan set, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the pan and fluff rice with a fork.
- Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon and add to the rice. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the lemon juice into the rice. Add the parsley and stir.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- This recipe is easily halved, but we like having the leftovers on hand to pull out on busy nights.
- Fresh or dried dill is also delicious stirred in with the parsley.
