In a medium saucepan, heat the butter or oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly toasted.
Add the broth, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff with a fork and garnish with parsley if desired before serving.
