Ingredients
- 2-3 tablespoons Butter or Olive Oil
- 1/2 bunch Green Onions (chopped)
- 3 cups Cooked Rice (white or brown)
- 3/4 cups Chicken Broth
- Salt (optional, to taste (not needed if using butter))
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| In a large skillet, heat the butter and green onions until the green onions become fragrant and start to soften. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Add the rice, breaking up as you put it in, and cook the rice until it is hot, stirring constantly while breaking up the rice. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Add 1/4 cup of the chicken broth, stirring constantly and cook until all liquid is absorbed. Do this 2 more times. | |

Similar to a Rice Pilaf, this rice recipe uses it’s base as chicken broth. The butter and green onion also help enhance the flavor of the rice so it becomes a perfect accompaniment to your chicken dinner.
Enjoy!
