Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and get ready for some deliciousness! In my mixing bowl, I combine the uncooked rice and chicken broth—this is when the magic begins. I like to let this sit while I prepare the garlic butter. In a skillet, I melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. The smell of garlic wafting through my kitchen is simply divine! Once it’s fragrant, I whisk in the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Everything blends together into a creamy, mouthwatering sauce. It’s hard to resist sneaking a spoonful at this point! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
