Easy Garlic Rice

Bergy's Note:

Sometimes I use 2 1/2 tsps of roasted dry garlic flakes instead of the fresh. Easy side dish goes great with chicken

This was a good side. I did brown the rice lightly along with the onions and garlic. I also added a little lemon pepper to it while cooking and left out the bay. Great flavor. I'll be making this again.

Mmmmm Garlic! This is a Great rice side dish! I added salt (used water chicken stock) and might use less thyme next time. Thanks for the keeper!

Great simple side dish, Bergy! I made it just as listed and it turned out terrific! I'm going to be putting this one into regular rotation. The kids loved it too!
