Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Long-grain white rice
- 4 teaspoons Chicken bouillon powder
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the rice, chicken bouillon powder, dried parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the prepared rice mixture to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the melted butter. Let the rice toast slightly for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam further.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm as a side dish or as a base for your favorite main course.
