Cilantro Lime Brown Rice

I did it! After three different versions I think I figured it out.  I have recreated the Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice!
So you will need:
1 tbsp. oil
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
some salt
1 cup brown rice
2 cups of chicken broth (or if you are a veg head, vegetable broth)
juice of about 1 lime
1/3 cilantro (chopped)

So, take the garlic, rice, some salt and pepper and toss it in a pan with the oil.  Mix that stuff around for about 2-3 minutes, until the rice is starting to look a little translucent.  Next, add the broth and lime juice and pinch of salt.  Bring all of this to a boil.  Cover before you turn it down to low.  Set a timer for 40 minutes.
I use this time to check what's going on in the world, or Facebook stalk.  Maybe you could paint your nails, or take a shower.
Come back in 40 minutes and remove the rice from the stove.  Fluff that stuff up with a fork, mix in the cilantro and dig in.
It's not as good reheated, so invite over some friends to eat with you, or just consume an ungodly amount of rice.  Or cut the recipe in half.

Here is how the recipe looks on my fridge:
