Cilantro Rice



This is my favorite way to eat rice. A huge step up from plain old rice. I love it. And the best part is that it is so easy. And so quick. The flavor is so fresh.
You basically make it the way you would regular rice, but instead of water, use chicken broth. I always opt for the low sodium chicken broth, so it isn't too salty. The basic ratio for cooking rice applies. If you cook one cup rice, add 2 cups broth. If you cook 1 1/2 cups rice, add 3 cups broth.
1 cup rice
2 cups chicken broth
1-2 tsp lemon or lime juice
2-3 tbsp cilatro (or if you are like me and love cilantro, load it up with as much as you want)
Add rice and chicken broth to pot, bring to a boil. Stir and reduce heat. Cover with a lid. Keep on low heat for 16 minutes.
Remove from heat and add lemon or lime juice. Add in Cilantro and mix.
