Ingredients

CHICKEN:

4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 bottle KC Masterpiece Garlic/Herb Marinade

1 T Worcestershire

Dried Celery Flakes

Dried Parsley

Celery Salt

Garlic Pepper

evoo

pad of margarine or butter

1/4 c (or less) chicken stock, water, or white wine

RICE:

Liptons Creamy Chicken Rice

2 cups water

2 T butter

1-2 handsful shredded cheese, any flavor (I usually have mexican, or colby/jack)

Directions

In large measuring cup, mix together marinade & worcestershire

Put chicken in plastic container with lid

Pour marinde over chicken

Marinate in fridge for a couple of hours (Emeril says chicken only needs to marinate 30 minutes, I like it better this way) OR, place frozen chicken breasts in the marinde, in the fridge the night before - this is my usual way.

Drizzle EVOO in large non-stick skillet and heat to med-high

Season both sides of chicken with remaining seasonings

Place in skillet and cover with lid -if chicken is not slightly frozen, add a couple tablespoons of water

Turn chicken every 8-10 miutes, or as needed.

Chicken will begin to brown - I allow it to brown slowly like this under the lid - seems to be more moist and more flavorful

Decrease heat as needed

Deglaze with stock, water, or wine as needed

Cook about 45 minutes, or until done - remove lid last 5 minutes or so, turning once

WHILE CHICKEN COOKS:

Bring 2 cups of water, rice, and butter to a boil

Cover and simmer about 7 minutes

Stir in cheese
