In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the uncooked rice and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, stirring occasionally so the rice browns evenly.

Next, add the onions and cook for an addition 3 to 5 minutes, until the onions are beginning to soften.

Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.

Bring everything to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.

Reduce to heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is soft and tender.
