Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, until all has been added. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer. Next, add the rice, chicken, salt, curry powder, mustard powder, parsley, ground black pepper. Allow to heat through, then pour in the half-and-half. Let simmer for 1 to 2 hours.
