Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium oven-safe skillet or baking dish, melt the butter over medium heat on the stovetop.
Step 3
Add the chopped onion and celery to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and translucent.
Step 4
Stir in the rice, coating it evenly in the butter and vegetable mixture. Toast the rice lightly for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
Add the chicken or vegetable broth, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer on the stovetop, then remove from heat.
Step 7
Cover the skillet or baking dish tightly with aluminum foil or a lid to prevent steam from escaping during baking.
Step 8
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the dish rest, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Fluff the rice gently with a fork, garnish with additional parsley if desired, and serve warm.
