Turn stove on medium low heat.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot and heat it up.

Add 1/4 small diced yellow onion to the pot and sauté until translucent.

Mix all the ingredients together in the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and cover the pot.

Simmer for about 20 minutes, checking the rice at the 10 and 15 minute marks to ensure it is cooking properly.

The rice is done when all the liquid is gone and the rice is softened to your preference.
