Ingredients

2 cups white rice rinsed well
1½ cups chicken bone broth or more as needed
1 pinch kosher salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Place the rice in a mesh sieve and rinse well under cool water. Shake gently and rinse until the water runs clear. This will help yield light and fluffy rice.
Place the rice into the bowl of your rice cooker and add a small pinch of salt.
Rice cookers usually have a line marked where you should fill to with liquids. Usually that’s water, but today it’s bone broth. Fill the pot up to the line marked. Every rice cooker is different, for mine I use 1½ cups.
Select white rice and press start.
Once cooked, fluff and serve.

Notes

I always make rice in a rice cooker. It's foolproof and so much easier. Because most rice cookers regulate how much steam/vapor is released, you won't need as much liquids than if you were making rice in a saucepan on your stove top. With that said, if making this protein packed rice on the stove top you will need 2 cups of liquid per 1 cup of uncooked rice.
