Ingredients

2 cups chicken broth
1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 lemon zested (I like it lemony! Add less or more to your liking)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (about one lemon)
fresh basil to garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a medium pot with a lid, combine the chicken broth, rice, butter, garlic powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot and allow the rice to simmer slowly for 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.
Fluff with a fork, season with salt if needed, and garnish with fresh minced basil.
