Baked Chicken Flavoured Rice With Meatballs

• 14 cup butter
• 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 2 12 cups converted white rice (Uncle Ben's is the best for this!)
• 4 12 cups good quality chicken broth (I use my homemade broth recipe) or 4 12 cups turkey broth (I use my homemade broth recipe)
• fresh ground black pepper (lots!)
• salt
• 10 -15 prepared and cooked meatballs (or as many as desired)

1. Well grease an oven-proof larger size pot all over (grease sides of pot also) and prepare a tight-fitting oven-proof lid.
2. Heat the butter in the pot.
3. Add in the onions and garlic; saute for 4-5 minutes, or until semi-soft.
4. Add in the rice, and stir for 1-2 minutes with a wooden spoon.
5. Carefully add in the chicken both; mix well with a wooden spoon, and bring to a boil.
6. Cover the pot with an oven-safe lid, and simmer on top of the stove for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a spoon.
7. Set oven to 350 degrees.
8. Place the pot in oven (with the lid on), and bake the rice for about 33-35 minutes, or until the rice is desired tenderness.
9. Remove and stir in all the meatballs; mix well (it's that easy!
10. ).
11. Enjoy!
