Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice, uncooked Regular long-grain rice absorbs broth and cooks through in the oven.
  • 3 cups chicken broth Provides the main cooking liquid. Use low-sodium if preferred.
  • 1 cup water Balances the liquid for tender rice without excess richness.
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz) Adds creaminess and concentrated flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Provides a mellow garlic flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Adds a sweet onion note.
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adjust to taste for mild heat.
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley Gives a touch of herb freshness.

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the rack is in the center for even cooking.
