Serves 6
1. Cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.
2. In a nonstick frying pan, combine the chicken, celery, onions and tarragon with 1 cup of the unsalted chicken broth. Cook on medium heat until the chicken and vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. In a baking dish, stir together the rice, and remaining chicken stock. Let soak in for 30 minutes.
4. Add the chicken and vegetables to the baking dish. Cover and bake for 60 minutes. Check periodically and add more stock if the rice is too dry. Serve immediately
Serve with green beans and broccoli
