👨‍🍳 Instructions

Cook and stir onion, garlic, and vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir rice into onion mixture and cook, stirring often, until rice becomes slightly opaque, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir chicken broth, vegetable juice, and into rice mixture and bring to a boil.

Cover and simmer over low heat until rice has absorbed most of the liquid, about 5 minutes.
