Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place an oven-proof dish in the oven while it preheats to melt the butter, approximately 10 minutes.

02

Step

Remove the dish from the oven and stir in the rice, diced garlic, and salt. Return the dish to the oven for another 5 minutes to lightly toast the rice and infuse it with garlic aroma.

03

Step

In a separate bowl, dissolve the chicken bouillon cubes in the boiling water. Pour this flavorful broth over the rice mixture in the dish. Return the dish to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary.
To prevent sticking, you can lightly grease the oven-proof dish before adding the butter.
If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute vegetable bouillon for chicken bouillon.

    Make sure to use an oven-safe dish that's large enough, as the rice will expand.
