I love Café Rio’s rice so much but with winter in full force (and my desire to never leave the house in snow) I figure I better learn to make it so I can kill two birds. One for lunch and the other for dinner, chicken goes great with rice.
This recipe is beyond simple because you can make it in a rice cooker or crockpot. I think mine actually tastes better than Café Rio’s, because its made with love and its always soft and fluffy.
Chelsey’s Cilantro Lime Rice:
2 Cups uncooked long grain white rice
2 Cups chicken broth
2 Cups water
1 Tbs salt
2 Tbs butter or olive oil
3 Cloves minced garlic
1 Large lime (juiced)
1 Bunch of cilantro chopped
2 Tbs Sugar
Rice cooker or crockpot directions:
Add rice, chicken broth, water, salt, butter and garlic to a rice cooker or crockpot until its fully cooked. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro and sugar then fluff with a fork until fully incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
I made this recipe. It’s really good!! Thank you!! I just want to comment that 2 Tbl of salt seems like a typo to me. Did you mean 2 teaspoons instead? I only added 1 teaspoon and it tasted just fine. If it is a typo, you might want to correct that.
Great recipe. Thanks again!!

Thank you, I LOVE this recipe! Its 1 tbs salt and 2 tbs sugar (when you add the cilantro) Its a sweet rice, but you can always leave that out to make it savory.
I’d like to triple this and cook it in a 6 quart crock pot. How long will it need to cook on high?
Just cook until its fork tender. Im not sure on the exact time because each crockpot is different. Maybe 30-40 min?
