I'd use my basic chicken seasoning, a little thyme, a little sage, and a little paprika. Also, instead of basic white rice, I'd make my basic rice pilaf and serve the chicken over the pilaf. Add a little thyme, sage, and paprika to the pilaf, and use chicken stock.
Yields: 3 – 4 servings
½ c rice
1 T orzo pasta
1 T butter
2 T diced onions
2 mushrooms, diced
½ t garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
one sprig of thyme
1 c stock
salt and pepper to taste
Heat a saucepan. Melt the butter. Add the onions, mushrooms, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sweat them until the onions are transparent. Add the rice and orzo pasta. Increase heat to medium. Sauté until the orzo browns slightly and the rice begins to pop and “frizzle”. Deglaze the pan with the stock. Check the seasoning, and add some more salt and pepper as needed. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
