Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 1/4 cup chicken broth I use water with Better than Bouillon
  • 2 tablespoons + 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro divided
  • 1 stalk green onion chopped
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (about half a lime)

Instructions

  • Add rice, chicken broth, green onion, bay leaf, and 2 tablespoons cilantro to the Instant Pot. Stir, then lock the lid, turn the knob to sealing, and cook on manual high pressure for 3 minutes. Allow a 10 minute natural pressure release, then release the remaining pressure (if any.)
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and remove the bay leaf. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, citrus juice, and remaining cilantro. Add more salt to taste. Serve with your favorite protein!
