SEMI-INDULGENT EASY BROWN RICE image

Categories     Lemon     Rice     Side

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup instant brown rice
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon (optional) ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
7 ounces (fluid/or more if needed) low sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine instant brown rice, parsley, and black pepper in a microwave-safe dish.
  • Place butter and lemon juice in a measuring cup. Pour chicken broth into measuring cup with butter and lemon juice to measure a total of 1 cup.
  • Stir chicken broth mixture into rice mixture until all ingredients are moistened. Cover with microwave-safe lid.
  • Heat in the microwave oven until rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 7 minutes. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Fluff with fork before serving.
  • Note: You can adjust the seasonings to taste: lime juice and cilantro for a Mexican side, orange juice and thyme for another variety, etc.
  • Note: You can switch out brown rice for instant white rice or regular-cooking brown rice, but you'll need to read the package to make liquid to dry ratio adjustments.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The rice was mushy and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was so easy to follow and the rice turned out perfect! I've never been a huge fan of brown rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the chicken and vegetables I served it with.
