Chicken with Rice in the Oven

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. 
   • Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any other spices you prefer.
2. Prepare the Rice:
   • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 
   • Prepare the chicken broth and bring it to a boil.
3. Chicken Stuffing:
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. 
   • Sauté the onion and garlic until softened. 
   • Add chopped carrots and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. 
   • Add the rice and sauté until it becomes slightly translucent. 
   • Transfer the stuffing to a deep baking dish.
4. Stuffing the Chicken:
   • Fill half of the chicken with the prepared stuffing. 
   • Cover the chicken with the remaining stuffing.
5. Baking:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 
   • Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour in the chicken broth. 
   • Cover the baking dish with foil and place it in the oven. 
   • Bake the chicken for approximately 1.5-2 hours, removing the foil periodically and basting the chicken with juices.
6. Checking for Doneness:
   • Check the chicken's readiness by piercing it between the thigh and breast with a knife. If the juices run clear, the chicken is done. 
   • Serve the chicken garnished with fresh herbs, and carve it into serving pieces.
