How To Make Cilantro Lime Rice
It’s very easy to make the rice. Everything is cooked in one skillet or pan so there is only one utensil to wash. First, rinse and cook the rice in a skillet with water, chicken broth, salt and butter. After the rice is cooked, add cilantro leaves and lime juice to the rice, stir to mix well and serve immediately. The end result is absolutely delicious, refreshing and appetizing. The rice is moist, with the wonderful aromas of the cilantro and goes well with chicken recipes (such as honey lime chicken), shrimp recipes or salmon recipes.
