Preheat oven to 425ºF. Spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Add all the ingredients to the prepared pan.
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil. Stir the rice and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes.
Notes:
Do I have to rinse the rice? Rinsing the rice removes excess starch and helps the grains remain separate. If you don't rinse the rice, it may be sticky or gummy.
I use long grain rice. Can substitute jasmine rice or basmati rice.
Can I use brown rice? I am sure that you can, but I have not tried this recipe with brown rice, so I can not say what modifications need to be made.
Brown rice requires more cooking liquid and takes longer to cook.
I suggest low-sodium or no salt chicken broth.
Can substitute vegetable broth.
Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
