Add onion and garlic to a glass baking dish along with butter. Cook for 10 minutes, until onions begin to soften and brown and garlic becomes fragrant.
Remove baking dish from oven and add rice and stock; stir to combine. Place chicken pieces over rice. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes or until rice has absorbed all liquid and chicken juices run clear. Remove from oven and let stand for about 5 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
