Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and thyme. Set aside.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat.
Once butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn.
Stir rice into butter mixture and toss to coat. Place chicken on top of rice in an even layer and add chicken broth to pan.
Cover skillet with lid or aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove lid/foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F) and most of liquid from rice is absorbed.
Remove from oven and remove chicken from pan. Add shredded Parmesan cheese to rice and stir to combine until melted. Adjust seasonings, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Chicken and rice will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
