Garlicky Basmati Rice

I wanted to make a simple rice dish to serve alongside the Barbecued Chicken and Pineapple Skewers. I liked this recipe in one of my Cooking Light cookbooks because it was quick and simple to make but tastes extra flavorful and delicious. I loved the garlic flavor in this rice and the crisp green onions gave it nice texture. The skewers paired perfectly with this garlicky rice.
