Ingredients

• 2 cups long-grain white rice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe baking dish, combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, chopped onion, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Slice the butter into small pieces and evenly distribute it on top of the rice mixture.

Step 5

Season with salt and black pepper, stirring gently to distribute the seasonings.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to seal in the steam during cooking.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, remove the foil, give the rice a quick stir, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle parsley over the top for garnish, if using.

Step 10

Serve warm, or allow it to cool completely before portioning into airtight containers for freezing or meal prep.
