Garlic Butter Rice
🛒 What You’ll Need🍚
- 2 cups White rice 🍚
- 3 ½ cups Chicken broth (for maximum flavor!) 🥣
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter 🧈
- 6 cloves Garlic, minced 🧄
- ½ tsp Salt 🧂
- ¼ tsp Black pepper 🧂
- Garnish: Fresh green onions and toasted garlic 🌿🧄
👩🍳 Instructions
- Sauté the Garlic: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and golden (be careful not to burn it!). 🧄🧈🔥
- Toast the Rice: Add the white rice to the pot and stir for 1-2 minutes until the grains are lightly toasted and coated in that delicious garlic butter. 🍚🌪️
- Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. 🥣📈
- Cook: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for about 15–18 minutes (or until all liquid is absorbed). ⏲️🌬️
- Fluff & Finish: Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork to keep it light and airy! 🍴✨
- Garnish: Top with plenty of sliced green onions and extra toasted garlic for that professional look. 🌿🧄🤤
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Broth Secret: Using chicken broth instead of water makes the rice infinitely more flavorful and rich! 🥣💎
- Rinse Your Rice: For the fluffiest results with individual grains, rinse your rice under cold water until the water runs clear before cooking to remove excess starch. 🚿🍚
