Creamy Spinach Rice Skillet

What you’ll need

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/2 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup long-grain white rice, uncooked
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 4 cups fresh baby spinach
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• salt and black pepper, to taste

Make it

1. 1Melt the butter in a large skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cook the onion until soft, about 4 minutes, then add the garlic and rice and stir for 1 minute.
2. 2Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Cover, lower the heat, and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, 15–18 minutes.
3. 3Stir in the cream cheese until melted, then fold in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted.
4. 4Stir in the Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and add a splash of broth or water if it seems too thick.
