Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 sprays olive oil spray
Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water in a fine mesh strainer to remove excess starch and set it aside to drain.
Spray a medium-sized saucepan lightly with olive oil spray (3 sprays) and heat on medium-low for 1 minute.
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and toast it lightly for 2 minutes, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoon or spatula.
Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and stir gently to combine.
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, and black pepper, stirring the seasonings evenly into the rice and broth mixture.
Raise the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice simmer gently for 15-18 minutes, or until the broth is fully absorbed.
Turn off the heat and allow the rice to rest (covered) for 5 minutes to ensure it fluffs nicely.
Remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
Serve the rice warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light meal. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of extra parsley for presentation.
