Oven Baked Chicken and Rice

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Step 2

Scatter onion and garlic in a baking dish (about 10 x 15" / 25 x 35 cm), then place butter in the centre. Bake for 15 minutes (check at 12 minutes, mix if some bits are browning too much).

Step 3

Meanwhile, mix together Chicken Rub. Sprinkle on both sides of the chicken.

Step 4

Remove baking dish from the oven. Add rice then mix.

Step 5

Place chicken on rice. Then pour chicken broth and water around the chicken.

Step 6

Cover with foil, then bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, spray chicken with oil (optional, gives chicken nicer finish), then bake for a further 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Step 7

Stand for 5 minutes, then remove chicken and fluff up rice. Garnish with parsley or thyme if desired, serve and enjoy!

Step 8

Dish is flavoured enough to serve without sauce, but if you want to take it over the top, make this quick Gravy in 4 minutes flat (pictured in video).
