📝 Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup white rice
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 scallions (minced)
• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the rice, stock, salt, pepper, and butter to a medium saucepan. Stir to combine. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed (you will need a little to help melt the cheese), and the rice is cooked.
2. 2Turn off the heat. Stir in the scallions, zucchini and cheeses. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
