Lemon Dill Rice is a perfect side dish for chicken, beef, pork, or fish. It's so easy to make and turns even ordinary dinners into something a bit special! And you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry right now!
In a medium saucepan, heat the chicken broth and lemon juice to boiling.
1 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
Add the dill and rice, mix to combine, and return to a boil.
2 teaspoons dried dill weed, ¾ cup uncooked white rice
Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Notes
For the best flavor, make sure your dried dill is not too old. Or use fresh dill, about 2 tablespoons.
Fresh lemon juice is best, but bottled works really well and I always have some on hand.
You can use different kinds of rice but you may need to adjust the proportion of liquid and/or the cooking time. Use the package directions as a guide. If the liquid to rice proportion is different than 2:1, adjust accordingly by varying the amount of broth and lemon juice.
Pro tip: Make a double batch and freeze the extra for a quick and easy side dish on another night! Freeze rice in a flat layer in an awesome reusable lay-flat zippered freezer bag.
