This is a mild-tasting, fast rice recipe suitable as a side dish to chicken or fish. You can switch the butter out for oil or omit it entirely, but the dish isn’t as tasty without it!
Ingredients
- 1 cup instant brown rice (such as Minute®)
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- 7 fluid ounces low-sodium chicken broth, or more if needed

Combine instant brown rice, parsley, and black pepper in a microwave-safe dish.
Step 2
Place butter and lemon juice in a measuring cup.

Pour chicken broth into measuring cup with butter and lemon juice to measure a total of 1 cup.
Step 4
Stir chicken broth mixture into rice mixture until all ingredients are moistened. Cover with microwave-safe lid.
Step 5
Heat in the microwave oven until rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid, about 7 minutes.
Step 6
Remove and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork before serving.
