Oven Baked Cilantro Lime Rice Recipe

 Ingredients

• 2½ cups long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth (I use two cubes of chicken bouillon dissolved into 2 cups hot water.)
• 3 cups hot water
• 2 limes
• 6 tbsp softened butter or canola oil
• ¾ tsp salt, divided
• ½ tsp sugar
• 1 clove garlic, crushed (or ¼ tsp garlic powder or dehydrated garlic)
• ¼ cup chopped onion (or ¾ tsp onion powder or 1 tbsp dehydrated onion)
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves, very loosely packed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a 9x13 pan combine rice, chicken broth, water, the juice of ONE of the limes, butter OR oil, ½ tsp of the salt (reserve the other ¼ tsp for after rice is cooked), crushed garlic, and chopped onion.
3. Next, carefully stir to distribute ingredients evenly, cover with foil, and place in the 350-degree oven and bake for 1 hour.
4. Remove rice after 1 hour. In a small bowl, mix the juice of the second lime, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp sugar, and ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves. Pour mixture over baked rice and stir carefully until well combined.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
