Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 large yellow onion, cut into wedges
2 stalks celery, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 ¾ cups water
2 medium carrots, cut into 1-1/2 inch pieces
1 bay leaf
1 cup brown rice

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place into the pot. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 10 to 12 minutes total. Add onion and celery. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
Add water, carrots, and bay leaf. Stir in rice and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice has absorbed almost all the liquid, 40 to 45 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving.
