2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup whole-kernel corn
2 teaspoons green onions, chopped

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir rice and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir chicken broth, lime juice, and salt into rice; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
