2 tablespoons butter
½ cup orzo pasta
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup uncooked white rice
2 cups chicken broth
Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add orzo; cook and stir until orzo is golden brown.
Stir in onion and cook until onion becomes translucent. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in rice and chicken broth, turn heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
