How to Make Cilantro Lime Rice

1. Rinse the Rice: Start by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for a fluffier end result.
2. Add the Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth. Stir in the salt, butter and minced garlic.
3. Cook the Rice: You can cook this rice in medium saucepan, or just use your rice cooker. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
4. Fluff and Serve: Once rice is cooked, carefully open the lid and fluff the rice. Add lime zest, juice and chopped cilantro. Stir to combine. Serve warm and enjoy!
