Ingredients

  • 1 cup Long-Grain White Rice
  • 1/2 cup Vermicelli Pasta broken
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 2 1/2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and swirl it so the bottom gets nicely coated.
  • Add the broken vermicelli and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often until it turns golden brown.
  • It can go from perfect to burnt pretty fast, so keep an eye on it.
  • Stir in the rice and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Let the grains toast a bit and soak up that buttery flavor.
  • Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir well so everything gets coated evenly.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, bring it up to a gentle boil, then drop the heat to low and cover with a tight lid.
  • Let it simmer for 15 to 18 minutes.
  • Try not to lift the lid; just let the rice do its thing until the liquid’s absorbed and the grains are tender.
  • Turn off the heat, leave the pan covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Stir in chopped parsley before serving.
