Prepare chicken broth using 'Better than Bouillon' by mixing 2 teaspoons with 8 oz of water, and add 6 oz more for a total of 14 oz.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until hot.

Add the white rice to the skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until it turns golden brown.

Stir in the prepared chicken broth, butter, salt, garlic, pepper, paprika, and onion powder into the skillet with the rice.

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, remove the cover, add chopped parsley, cover again, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until all the broth is absorbed.
