Melt the butter with the onion in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic clove and rice; stir until coated with the butter. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Stir in the chicken stock, bay leaf, and parsley; season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high; bring to a boil. When it reaches a boil, immediately lower to a low heat; cover; cook until all of the stock has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender, about 15 - 18 minutes.
Remove from the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and garlic clove. Fluff the rice with a fork.
Serve.
