Description

This is really flavorful rice, infused with lemon, and creates a tender and delicious side dish that will go with any meal.

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups white long-grain rice
  • 14.5 ounces chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Start by adding your butter into the Instant Pot.
  • Press the saute button.
  • Once the butter starts to melt, add the rice. The butter will provide a nice nutty aroma to the kitchen.
  • Continue to saute the rice until the butter is completely melted and the rice has been coated. It will have a nice shiny appearance.
  • Mix in the chicken broth (or stock), water, lemon juice, and salt.
  • Mix well.
  • Add your lid to the Instant Pot, making sure that the vent is in a sealing position.
  • Set the manual high pressure for 4 minutes.
  • Let the pressure naturally decrease before you remove your lid. (Remember the lid should easily come off, never force a lid off any Pressure cooker or instant pot)
  • Transfer the rice to a serving dish.
  • Garnish with lemon and parsley.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
