garlic rice pilafI love it when I find a new recipe that will become a regular in our house.  Such is the case with this dish.  Keeping in mind that this blog is a chronicle of my growth in cooking, I am ashamed to say - yet compelled to share - that I used to keep a box of Minute Rice in my pantry up until not too long ago. (Please don't unsubscribe yourself from my blog!)  🙂

Now that I finally transitioned to using standard white rice, I've been on the hunt for recipes that aren't difficult or time consuming.  I also do not like having to guess if the rice is done.  Please don't tell me to invest in a rice cooker.  Although this dish requires an hour of baking time, it is quick to prep.  Plus, the rice turns out perfect every time!

Printable Recipe

Yield: 6 to 8 servings

2 tablespoons butter
3 - 5 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 ½ cups chicken broth, divided
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
squeeze of lemon juice

Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium-high heat.  Sauté the garlic and rice for about 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown.  Stir in 1 cup of the chicken broth, salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, turn off the heat and pour the mixture into a casserole dish.  Cover and bake for 25 minutes.  Stir in the remaining chicken broth and bake, covered, for another 30 minutes.  Stir in a splash of lemon, cover, and bake a final 15 minutes.

*Recipe may be doubled without increasing the baking time.
