Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add orzo pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
Add chopped onion and cook until the onion is softened and translucent.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in rice and chicken broth, then increase heat to high and bring to a rapid boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet tightly, and simmer until the rice is tender and all liquid has been absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
Take the skillet off the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
