Delicious Herbed Lime Rice

I made this to go with carne asada burritos, inspired by Chipotle's lime rice.

1 onion, diced
olive oil
2 cups rice (I used Trader Joe's organic basmati rice)
4 cups chicken broth
Trader Joe's 21-Seasoning Salute, or Mrs. Dash
Juice of 1 fresh lime
Salt to taste
Chopped fresh green herbs such as chives, garlic chives, cilantro, etc.

In a pot with a lid, saute the onion in some olive oil. Add the rice and stir for a minute or two until it's coated with oil. Add the chicken broth, juice of 1 lime, and seasonings, and bring to boil. Turn down the heat, cover the pot, and steam the rice for about 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Stir in chopped green herbs (I used garlic chives from my garden).
