Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the rice and stir once, cover with a lid then reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes.
