Classic Chicken-Rice Bake

I intend all cooks convey their ain version of this baked chicken together with rice recipe. Some people work cream soups, but about work broth, but they all call for baking chicken together with rice together inwards the oven. This is our version (my favorite run is the rice). I normally set inwards tons to a greater extent than chicken than the recipe calls for, because it is a "freebie" means of making sandwich fixings (not to mention, chicken cooked this means has a wonderful flavor).
.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tin cream of chicken soup
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons chicken bullion granules
1 loving cup raw long grain white rice
½ teaspoon dark pepper
¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning (see note)
½ loving cup chopped onion
½ loving cup chopped celery
16 ounce pocketbook frozen peas and carrots
.
Brown the chicken breasts inwards a yoke tablespoons of butter thus laid them aside. In the same pan that yous browned the chicken in, saute the onion together with celery until tender, thus stir inwards the raw rice (you stir inwards the rice thus that it volition instruct coated amongst butter together with non stick together spell baking). Once the rice has sauteed for a infinitesimal or so, add together the soup, stock, chicken bullion together with spices. Whisk until smooth. Pour this mixture into a greased nine x thirteen baking dish together with stir to distribute the rice evenly. Set the browned chicken on transcend of the rice (push it downward into the liquid a little) and transcend the whole casserole amongst frozen peas together with carrots. Cover tightly together with bake at 325F for 1½ hours (if the chicken breasts are large).

NOTE: I don't purchase poultry seasoning because I work it thus seldom together with it goes to waste. Instead, I work equal parts of dry out rosemary, rubbed sage foliage together with thyme leaves together with a pinch of marjoram. I grind these together thus mensurate ¾ teaspoon.
