Ingredients

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 3/4 cups brown rice, I prefer Mahatma Brown Rice
• ▢ 1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth, or water if you prefer
• ▢ juice of one medium lemon, approximately 1/4 cup and zest

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 375F.
• Place the rice into an 8×6 -inch glass baking dish.
• Bring the chicken broth, lemon juice, salt and pepper to a boil in a covered pot on the stove top.
• Once your water boils pour it over the rice, stir to combine and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, remove cover. You will see the top speckled with your spices.
• Fluff the rice with a fork. Sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper for garnish . Serve immediately or allow to cool and refrigerate.

Donna’s Notes

To reheat rice drizzle 1/2 – 1 tablespoon of water over a serving of rice and microwave for 30 – 60 seconds.
