Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Nonstick cooking spray (if using Instant Pot)
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 1/4 cups chicken bone broth (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Rinse the white rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Add the rice and bone broth to a medium-sized saucepan or pot. See the notes for Instant Pot directions.
- Bring the mixture to a boil. Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Allow the rice to simmer for about 18 minutes.
- After 18 minutes, check the rice. It should have absorbed all the broth and be tender. If it’s not quite done, you can let it cook for a few more minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and become more fluffy.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and it’s ready to serve.
Notes
- Instant Pot directions: Rinse the rice well using a fine-mesh strainer. Spray the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Then, add the rice and bone broth to the pot. Set the cook time to 6 minutes at high pressure. Once the cook time is complete, use the quick release. Carefully remove the lid and stir the rice to fluff. Serve immediately.
- You can customize this basic recipe by adding herbs, spices, or vegetables as per your liking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
- You can make this rice using long-grain brown rice, but you’ll need to increase the cooking time to 45 minutes on the stovetop or 22 minutes if using the Instant Pot.
- If using store-bought bone broth, you may wish to use a reduced-sodium version if you are sensitive to salt. You can always add more salt later to the finished rice dish.
