For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for a heartier dish. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end adds a bright, zesty touch. This rice is delicious served with grilled chicken, fish, or vegetables. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
3 mins
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes.
02
Step
2 mins
Add the rice to the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. This step enhances the rice's flavor.
03
Step
1 mins
Pour in the chicken broth and tomato sauce. Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
04
Step
20 mins
Once boiling, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
05
Step
5 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and finish cooking.
06
StepFluff the rice with a fork before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
