Ingredients

1 cup long grain white rice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces chicken broth
8 ounces whole milk
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed rice, chicken broth, whole milk, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat, stir in the parmesan cheese and parsley. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.
