Creamy Lemon Pilaf

I doubled this and brought it to a party and it was a hit. It was kept covered and warm in a 200 degree oven before it was served and it did fine.

Creamy Lemon Pilaf

2T butter

1 ½ C rice

Melt butter in pan add rice and cook one minute until rice turns opaque. Add chicken broth. Season with salt. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer covered for 20-25 minutes*. Just before serving add Lemon Cream Sauce. Fold gently and add parsley and cheese.
