For a richer flavor, substitute chicken broth for water.
Add sliced vegetables like carrots, celery, or mushrooms for added nutrients and texture.
If you don't have dry onion soup mix, use a combination of onion powder, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
To prevent the rice from becoming mushy, ensure the foil is tightly sealed and avoid overbaking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    The foil is key! Make sure it's sealed well to keep the moisture in.

    I used brown rice instead of white rice and it turned out great, just needed a little extra baking time.
