Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In 13x9 inch pan, combine first 7 incredients, mix well. Arrange chicken on the rice mixture, skin side up, drizzle with butter. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika and poultry seasoning. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
- Tips: For chicken atop dressing, substitute 8-oz pkg. herb-seasoned stuffing mix for rice. Omit first 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bake covered with foil at 375 for 1 hour; remove foil and bake 30 minutes longer. This makes a moist dressing. If you prefer a drier dressing, decrease water to 1 1/2 cups.
- Wild rice can be substituted for half of rice.
- For pork chops atop rice, in large skillet, brown 6 pork chops. Arrange pork chops on rice mixture, omit butter.

Tips:
- Choose the right rice: Jasmine rice or basmati rice are great choices for this dish, as they have a light and fluffy texture that pairs well with the chicken and vegetables.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, crisp vegetables, and flavorful herbs and spices.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor.
- Cook the rice properly: Be sure to rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch. Then, cook the rice according to the package directions.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in a little bit of oil will help to bring out their natural sweetness and flavor.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chicken and cook it until it is browned on all sides.
- Add the rice and broth: Stir in the cooked rice and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Fluff the rice and serve: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and serve it immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley.
