Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- ½ cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 large clove garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp chicken bouillon
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp dried rosemary
- 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste*
Instructions
- Heat the butter and avocado oil in a Dutch oven, large pot, or saucepan over medium-high heat. Add in the chopped onion and sauté, stirring occasionally until the onion has softened and has turned translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic and white rice and continue sautéing, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth, chicken bouillon, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Give everything a big stir. Cover with a tight fitting lid and bring the mixture to a full boil. Immediately reduce the heat to low and cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Replace the cover and allow the rice to sit for another 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl, serve with your main dish and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
*Make the rice without additional salt first, and add it as needed. Chicken broths and chicken bouillons can vary in terms of salt content, so it is best to check the salt level of the rice before adding more.
