• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook for a couple of minutes or until they start to get soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minutes.

2. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the rice to the butter and toast for 1-2 minutes.
