This rice is a recipe that I just quickly threw together one night when I needed an easy side dish. I was inspired by a rice recipe that my friend Jessica posted about, but I made mine a little different than she did.
I know that I have mentioned several times now how much I love my homemade Emeril’s Seasoning. I really do use it all the time. It is a great seasoning for not only meats, but for recipes like this one today.
You can easily use the store bought version of Emeril’s if you have some, but I prefer the homemade since it is less expensive and I can control the spiciness.
Emeril’s Seasoned Rice
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups rice, uncooked
- 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Emeril’s Seasoning (if you are using the store version use a little less since it is spicier)
Heat oil in a pan.
Add rice and stir rice in hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until rice starts to turn whiter in color. You are basically frying the rice like you do in my Mexican rice.
Add chicken broth and seasoning.
Stir and bring to a boil.
Cover and cook on low for 18-20 minutes or until rice is tender.

I love rice and think it goes with everything. Thanks for sharing.
M @ Betty Crapper´s last blog ..Chicken with Warm Tomato Corn Salad
That looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the spice recipe. I may just have to try that!

I’m guessing this is not instant rice, but am I guessing correctly? Thanks for the recipe!
@Michelle T, Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you. This is regular long grain rice, not instant. Good question.
Looks great and easy!
I love that Emeril gave the recipe for his spice mix. I have made batches twice since reading about it on Life As Mom and Good Cheap Eats. I always seem to have the needed spices in my cupboard in adequate amounts anyway.
I never thought about using this for rice. What a great idea! Thanks for the tip.
OH Lynn! This is a keeper!!!! Hubby said ‘Add this to the rotation”. I made jambalaya with it. I first sauteed some onions and garlic in olive oil, then added some smoked sausage, then browned the rice a little, added water, baby bam seasoning and half a chicken bullion cube. It was delish and so quick!! Thanks so much for posting!!
@Chrissie, I am so glad that you liked it! Your variation is great. I was thinking the same thing about adding meat to it to make it more of a main dish. Thank you for letting me know how much you liked it.
Will this work for brown rice? Do you think it would taste ok?
@Sarah, I think it would work fine. You would just need to adjust the cooking time and I think the liquid amount.
