Set the oven to 400°F. Generously spray a glass or ceramic 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
Add uncooked rice, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper (start with ½ teaspoon each) directly into the prepared pan. Stir. Add the butter pieces evenly across the mixture. Cover tightly with foil.
Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove foil and set it aside, then bake uncovered for 15 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and cover the pan again with the foil. Let the rice rest at room temperature for 10 minutes—this step prevents mushy rice.
Remove foil and gently fluff the rice with a fork. If desired, stir in fresh parsley and lemon juice (I add 2-3 tablespoons). Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed before serving.
