Instructions
In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the chicken broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, pepper, paprika, and onion powder. Once the mixture starts to simmer, reduce to low heat.
In a large skillet set over medium-low heat, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the carrot and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add vermicelli and cook until brown, about 4-6 minutes. Add the rice and cook until it turns bright white, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the warm broth mixture into the skillet, stir to combine. Once the mixture simmers, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small skillet set over medium heat, add remaining half tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot add the mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and continue cooking for 2 additional minutes.
Remove the cover to the skillet, add the mushroom/garlic mixture and the parsley. Stir, cover, and continue cooking for 5 minutes or until all of the broth is absorbed. Serve immediately.
Notes
-You can also microwave the chicken broth mixture in a microwave-safe bowl for 2 minutes on high right before pouring it into the rice.
