Equipment
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 rice drainer
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Knife
Ingredients
  
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
Instructions
 
  • Prepare your long-grain white rice of choice by rinsing it.
  • Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add in the rice you previously rinsed and dried with a paper towel.
  • Sauté the rice on medium-high heat until it develops a golden-brown color, which will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add in the diced onion, and sauté for a few more minutes, or until the onion has softened.
  • Now it is time to add in the Texas Roadhouse seasoning mix, including paprika, garlic powder, parsley, and crushed red pepper for a little bit of heat.
  • Stir all the ingredients together, making sure that all the seasonings are combined.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and mix everything well. Then, bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Lower the heat, and cover the saucepan with a lid, which will allow the rice to fully cook.
  • Let the seasoned rice simmer on low for another 25-30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the chicken stock.
  • Make sure to taste the rice and check if the texture is to your liking. It shouldn't be too chewy, but make sure not to overcook it.
  • Serve your Texas Roadhouse seasoned rice while it is still warm, and garnish with some dried parsley on top.
