Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 small yellow onion, diced
1½ cups uncooked long grain rice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2½ cups low-sodium chicken broth (vegetable or beef broth can also be used)
¼ cup chopped green onions
Instructions
In a large pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add half the minced garlic and cook for 15 seconds.
Add mushrooms; cook for 8 minutes, stirring often, until caramelized. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
In the same pan, add remaining butter and oil. Cook diced onions for 3 minutes; add remaining garlic, cook 10 seconds.
Add rice, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook 30 seconds to toast the rice. Add ½ cup broth to deglaze the pan.
Add remaining broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 15-17 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
Stir in mushrooms and green onions, cover, and let sit for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
