Ingredients

8 servings

2 tbsp butter (divided)
8 oz small crimini or button mushrooms (about 3 cups thinly sliced)
1 small red bell pepper (about ¾ cup diced small)
½ tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste (this will depend on how salty your broth is))
¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 small yellow onion (about ½ cup diced small)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1½ cups jasmine or white rice
3 cups chicken broth

Instructions

Melt ½ tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and the mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and then remove the vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
Add the remaining butter to the hot skillet and allow it to melt over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir to coat. Let the onions cook, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes until the skillet is fragrant and the onions begin to soften. Add the rice and stir to coat.
Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid, making sure it continues to simmer. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes, checking the rice at about 18 minutes.
Taste and adjust the salt, if needed. Remove from the heat, stir in the cooked vegetables and then fluff with a fork before serving.
