Ingredients

  • 2 cans chicken broth
  • 2 ounces lemon juice
  • ½ stick butter
  • 1 cup Uncle Ben's Original Long-Grain White Rice

Instructions

  • Combine chicken broth and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Add butter and rice; stir well.
  • Turn heat down to medium and cover the pot partially.
  • Continue cooking rice, stirring often, about 20 minutes. (There should still be some liquid covering the rice.)
  • Remove from heat, cover pot completely, and let sit 5 minutes, to let rice absorb remaining liquid.
