Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil over high heat.

  2. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.

  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.

  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the cooked rice and gently stir to incorporate it evenly.

  5. Squeeze the fresh lime juice over the rice, then sprinkle in the chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

  6. Serve and enjoy.
