1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup butter, divided
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 cup heavy cream

Directions

1

Cook onion, chopped bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in 1/4 cup of butter until the onion is transparent. Add rice and herb packets and cook, stirring, until the rice begins to turn golden.
2

Add the chicken broth and simmer gently in a covered pan until the rice is barely tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
3

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
4

Butter a deep casserole dish. Lightly transfer half the rice mixture to the dish with a fork. Top with half the pepper rings and half the cheese. Repeat layers. Dot with remaining butter and pour cream over the top.
