  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1-2 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Rice

  • 1-2 Tablespoon garlic butter (see recipe above)

Instructions

Garlic butter

  • In a small bowl, combine softened butter and minced garlic. Add Italian seasoning and pepper and mix to combine.

Rice

  • In a rice cooker or medium saucepan fitted with a tight-fitting lid, combine chicken broth, rice, garlic butter (remember you're only using 1-2 tablespoon garlic butter and not the whole recipe) and salt.
