Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice

This Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice gets its rich, buttery taste from the right balance of spices and broth!
I always make sure to sauté the onions and garlic long enough for their sweetness to come through before stirring in the rice.
Using chicken broth instead of water is the secret to making every bite as good as the restaurant version.
This is one of my favorite side dishes because it’s packed with just the right amount of seasoning without being overpowering.
Letting the rice rest with the lid on for a few minutes after cooking helps it absorb every bit of the buttery goodness!
