Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Add the chicken or vegetable stock, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine. Cover the pot with a lid or tightly with foil.

Step 7

Place the pot in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed and the rice is tender.
