Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup uncooked jasmine rice
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk + 3 tablespoons, divided (I used 2%)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and rice and stir to saute for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, 1 cup milk, salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and turn heat to low. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until most of liquid is absorbed.
Remove saucepan from heat and stir in remaining 3 tablespoons milk, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese. Adjust seasonings, if desired, and add more milk if you want rice creamer. Serve immediately.

Notes

Leftover rice will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
