Gathering the ingredients is a breeze. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup of long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of chicken broth (substitute with vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Let’s make this Garlic Butter Rice Skillet together, step by step:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. This brings me back to those cozy evenings with my mom, who could make magic with just a few simple ingredients.
- Add the rice to the skillet, stirring to coat it in the garlic butter. Toast the rice for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in the chicken broth, and season with salt, pepper, thyme, and oregano. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Let the dish sit for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the delightful aroma and taste, reminiscent of home-cooked meals shared with loved ones.
