Zesty Lemon Thyme Rice Delight

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, let the butter melt over medium-high heat until it sizzles. Add the rice and let it dance in the pan, stirring occasionally until it turns a lovely shade of golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 2

Next, pour in the chicken broth, a splash of zesty lemon juice, and a sprinkle of fragrant thyme into the rice. Give it a gentle stir, cover the pan, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer away until the rice eagerly soaks up all the flavorful liquid, around 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the rice has absorbed all the goodness, uncover the pan, and fluff up the grains with a fork, allowing the aroma to fill the kitchen. Serve up this delightful dish to enjoy a burst of flavors in every bite.
