Love Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice? This copycat recipe is buttery, flavorful, and jam-packed with bold spices. Better yet, it’s ready in just 30 minutes!

Ingredients​

  • 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 1⁄2 cup butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1⁄4-1/2 ground cayenne pepper, optional
  • 4 1⁄2 cups chicken stock/broth
  • 1⁄4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley (or 2 tbsp dried)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions​

  • Rinse the rice under cold water a few times until it runs mostly clear. Set aside to drain while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the washed rice and sauté, stirring often for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Add the onion, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and cayenne (if using). If using dried parsley, add now. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the stock and soy sauce, stir well, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the seasoned rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
  • Turn off the heat and let the rice sit for 5 minutes.
  • Add the fresh parsley (if using) and fluff with a fork to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, serve hot, and enjoy!

Notes​

  • If the rice looks dry before it’s done, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it’s perfectly tender.
  • Use a fork to fluff the rice after cooking instead of stirring with a spoon. This keeps the grains separate and fluffy rather than sticky.
  • Don’t add any salt until right at the end. Since the recipe calls for soy sauce, you might not need it.
