Cheesy Chicken And Rice

Cheesy Chicken and Rice ****

(This is a recipe that I made up after tasting my sister's similar version of it. A family favorite. In fact, when Erin was little she would say “Chicken and rice!” when she meant “I love you.” )
½ onions chopped
1 cup celery chopped
2 cubes chicken bullion
3 cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked rice
2 chicken breasts cubed
1 can cream of chicken
1 ½ grated Colby jack cheese


In large skillet melt butter, add onions and celery. Sauté. Add water, bullion cubes and rice and allow to simmer for 7-10 min or until rice is cooked. In small sauce pan cook cubed chicken, add cream of chicken soup and melt in cheese. Add chicken mixture to rice and stir slowly. Heat through and serve.
