Description
This Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice is a flavorful side dish with a hint of smokiness from garlic, onion, and paprika, making it a perfect complement to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat, add diced onion and bell peppers, and sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the rinsed rice, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to lightly toast the rice.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18–20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and serve warm.
Notes
Use low-sodium broth for better control over saltiness. Rinse rice well to prevent stickiness. Allow rice to rest before fluffing for the best texture.
