Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups instant rice
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup parmesan cheese grated
- ½ tsp parsley
Instructions
- Sauté garlic in butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add rice and stir to coat in butter. Add broth, milk and salt then bring to a toil. Reduce heat to low (or maybe a little higher depending on your stove - you want to keep it at a slight simmer), cover and cook for 5 -8 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. If it needs a little creaminess, add a splash of milk. Taste for salt and add more if necessary.
