  4. 4 Layer the chicken and rice, then sprinkle with fried onions.

With an appliance

  • Oven 43 min

    Replace step 5: cover the pot tightly and place it on the bottom rack of the oven at 175 degrees for 18 minutes, then let it rest for 5 minutes; this is about 7 minutes faster than steaming, the rice cooks evenly from the edges to the center and no heat adjustment is needed.
