Rice Pilaf (Serves 6, 1⁄2 cup per serving)

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 cup uncooked long grain brown rice
• 2 cups heated low sodium fat-free chicken stock or broth

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Heat the oil over medium high heat in an ovenproof saucepan*. Add the rice, stir to coat with the oil and heat the rice until it sizzles a bit.
3. Add the hot chicken stock, bring to a boil, cover and place in the oven.
4. Bake until all the moisture is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven, toss with a fork and serve.

*If you do not have an ovenproof saucepan you can heat the oil, rice, and stock in a regular saucepan and then transfer the mixture to a casserole dish before putting it in the oven.
