A delightful and flavorful rice dish infused with lemon and herbs, perfect as a side for any meal.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat it with the butter.
Coating the rice in butter helps to enhance its flavor and prevents sticking.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Ensure the broth is warm before adding to speed up the boiling process.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Do not lift the lid while the rice is cooking to retain steam.
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and fluff it with a fork.
Fluffing the rice prevents it from clumping together.
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, dried basil, and lemon pepper seasoning.
Mix the ingredients gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Serve the rice warm, garnished with additional lemon zest if desired.
Serving the rice immediately ensures the flavors are at their peak.
