"I used to cook this in the oven before I had a crock-pot. For the oven: cook it in a covered dish for 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 300F or until the chicken is cooked and tender.

"This is my daughter Nomi's all-time favorite way to eat rice. My friend Debbie, who is married to a Persian, makes this for her every time we're over at their house for a meal.
