Melt 2 T. butter in a large soup pot/dutch oven over medium heat. Add carrots; season with seasoned salt and pepper. Cover; cook until carrots are tender, 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add rice, dried onions and dried garlic; stir to coat in butter; saute 1 minute. Add dried parsley and chicken stock; turn heat to high to bring to a boil, stirring occasionally so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom while it comes to a boil. Turn heat down to medium-low; simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season chicken with seasoned salt and pepper; add to the pot, turning the heat up slightly to bring it back up to a bubble. Turn the heat down to medium-low; simmer until the chicken is cooked through and rice is al dente, 7-10 more minutes, stirring occasionally and more frequently near the end.
Cover; remove from heat; let sit for 5 minutes. It will thicken as it cools. Stir in remaining 2 - 4 T. butter; season with seasoned salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve.
6 servings.
