Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Return chicken to the pan, add stock, and simmer for 25 minutes.

Stir in rice, cover, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes until liquid is absorbed.

Add optional seafood during the last 20 minutes if desired.

Check that chicken juices run clear and sprinkle with parsley before serving.
