This is a mild-tasting, fast rice recipe suitable as a side dish to chicken or fish. You can switch the butter out for oil or omit it entirely, but the dish isn't as tasty without it! Ingredients:
1 cup instant brown rice (such as minute®) |
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional) |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice |
7 fluid ounces low-sodium chicken broth, or more if needed |
Directions:
1. Combine instant brown rice, parsley, and black pepper in a microwave-safe dish.
2. Place butter and lemon juice in a measuring cup.
3. Pour chicken broth into measuring cup with butter and lemon juice to measure a total of 1 cup.
4. Stir chicken broth mixture into rice mixture until all ingredients are moistened. Cover with microwave-safe lid.
5. Heat in the microwave oven until rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 7 minutes.
6. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving.
