Notes
- Mix the butter in well until it melts completely for buttery, super-flavorful rice.
- Make sure to get the chicken bouillon on the rice and in the water, and not on the onion. You want to cook it directly in the rice.
- Remove the onion after cooking and before stirring in the butter.
- Top with sliced green onions for extra color and flavor. You will love it!
