Directions:

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add in the chopped onion and fresh garlic (if using); saute for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft but not brown.
Add in the rice; cook/stir for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add in the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until all of the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender.
Delicious!
