½ teaspoon lemon juice

7 fluid ounces low-sodium chicken broth, or more if needed

Combine instant brown rice, parsley, and black pepper in a microwave-safe dish.

Place butter and lemon juice in a measuring cup.
-
Pour chicken broth into measuring cup with butter and lemon juice to measure a total of 1 cup.
-
Stir chicken broth mixture into rice mixture until all ingredients are moistened. Cover with microwave-safe lid.

Cook's note:
You can adjust the seasonings to taste: lime juice and cilantro for a Mexican side, orange juice and thyme for another variety, etc. You can also switch out brown rice for instant white rice or regular-cooking brown rice, but you'll need to read the package to make liquid to dry ratio adjustments.
