Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of paprika

Instructions

  1. Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, chicken broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir once to combine the ingredients.
  4. Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and simmer for 18 minutes without lifting the lid.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Do not remove the lid during this resting period.
  6. Fluff the seasoned rice gently with a fork before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chicken broth for the best savory flavor profile.
  • For a slightly richer taste, you can substitute half of the chicken broth with water.
  • Do not skip the resting time off the heat; this step is key to achieving fluffy, perfectly cooked seasoned rice.
