Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.25 cup carrot, finely shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes soft and translucent.
Stir the shredded carrot into the sautéed onion and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the rinsed and drained rice to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the rice with the butter and toasting it lightly for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Add the parsley flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once 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 the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow it to steam further.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving. Enjoy your Copycat Sizzler Rice as a delicious side dish!
