This vibrant and flavorful cilantro lime rice is a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with a variety of main courses.
Chop the fresh lime, garlic, cilantro, green chili, and onion into small pieces.
Use a sharp knife to make chopping easier and more precise.
Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic, onion, and green chili until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it with the butter and aromatics.
Toasting the rice enhances its flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Pour in the chicken broth, add the salt, and squeeze in the lime juice. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the liquid for even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer for 20 minutes without stirring.
Avoid lifting the lid to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently mix in the chopped cilantro.
Fluffing with a fork prevents the rice from clumping together.
