Combine the rice, chicken broth, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover tightly, and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
