Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and the chicken broth over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover with lid. Simmer for 18-20 minutes, just until done. Fluff the rice with a fork. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
Add the garlic along with all of the spices. Toss to saute and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds longer. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir well to combine thoroughly. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
