Ingredients

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.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Ensure the rack is in the center for even cooking.
In a large baking dish, combine the rice, chicken broth, water, cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and dried parsley. Mix well.
Place chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture in a single layer.

Cooking

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 1 hour.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is tender.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
