Steps
Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the first half of the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes until both sides are golden. Set aside the first batch when it’s done and wipe out the pan. Add the rest of the butter and olive oil to the pan and cook the 2nd batch of the mushrooms just as you did the first. Set aside with the other cooked mushrooms.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Once finished, add the cooked onion and garlic with the cooked mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste.
In the same pan, add the chicken broth and rice. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Once the rice is fully cooked, turn off the heat and add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic into the pan and toss. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onion.

Regine on 2019-10-25 (5 stars): I made your dish yesterday and it was really really really delicious. However, I had forgotten to buy the jalapeno so I cooked without it. One thing I disagree with, though. 6 servings? Maybe for 6 toddlers. I would say it is no more than 3 servings but maybe it is because I am a rice lover. Thanks for the recipe.
