Infused with garlic and onion powders, this easy side dish is perfect for pairing with your favorite main courses and requires minimal prep and hands-on cooking time.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice and Butter

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: In a 9×9-inch baking dish, spread the uncooked rice evenly in a single layer to promote uniform cooking.
  3. Add the Butter: Distribute the stick of butter, cut into pieces, evenly over the top of the rice to melt into it as it bakes.
  4. Add Broth and Water: Pour the chicken broth and water into the dish, then sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine the seasonings throughout.
  5. Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam and bake in the oven for 1 hour until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Fluff and Serve: Remove the foil after baking and fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains and incorporate the melted butter before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth.
  • Ensure the baking dish is covered tightly with foil to prevent steam from escaping, which helps cook the rice evenly.
  • You can add fresh herbs like parsley or thyme after baking for additional flavor.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
  • Let the baked rice rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven for best texture.
