This recipe provides a simple and effective way to prepare perfectly fluffy rice using an oven-baking method.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures the oven is at the right temperature for even cooking.
In an oven-safe pot, melt the butter over medium heat on the stove.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Stir in the rice and cook for a few minutes until lightly toasted.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Pour in the chicken broth, add the salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle boil.
Ensure the broth is evenly distributed before covering.
Cover the pot with its lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 18 minutes.
Do not uncover the pot during baking to retain steam.
Remove the pot from the oven and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
Resting allows the rice to finish absorbing the liquid.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Fluffing separates the grains for a perfect texture.
