Recipe Wednesday #4

Sometimes I find simple, easy recipes on the package or box for some food item I have bought at the local grocery store. The following recipe sounds like it would be very good and seems to be a simple as could be. This recipe was found on the side panel of a box of 'Kroger' brand 'Boil-in-Bag Rice'. With a little variation in ingredients and amounts the recipe could be easily changed to fit your own personal or family tastes or needs. I have not tried this recipe but I plan to soon make a:

"Quick Chicken Dinner"

1 bag Boil-in-Bag Rice

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 teaspoon thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 can (14 1/2 oz) stewed tomatoes

1 medium green pepper, cut into strips

1 cup chopped celery

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Prepare rice while chicken is cooking. Sprinkle chicken with thyme, salt, and pepper.
In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil. Stir in all ingredients except rice. Simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes, until chicken is done. Serve chicken mixture over hot cooked rice. Serves 4. Refrigerate any leftovers.
