This is another family favorite for decades!
Over the years, my preparation has changed:
I now use the instant pot—fewer dishes to wash, and quicker!


INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION:
  1. Cook chicken:
    Cook chicken breasts in instant pot with 1-2 cups water: poultry setting (or 15 mins manual).
    Quick or natural release; cool and cut into small pieces.
    (Remember to save the broth!)
    Don't wash the instant pot yet—you'll use it again (below).
  2. Preheat oven to 350 °F.
  3. Assemble casserole:
    Heat oil in instant pot (saute setting).
    Add onion, garlic, celery; saute for about 3 minutes.
    Stir in rice (uncooked!) until coated.
    Add broth and seasonings; bring to a boil.
    Stir in chicken.
  4. Bake in oven:
    Pour into an oven-safe casserole dish (about 2.5 liter; this is what I use).
    Cover (use aluminum foil if you don't have a lid).
    Bake 25–30 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is almost gone.
    Remove from oven; stir in tomatoes.
