In a stock pot melt the oil.
Add the celery, carrots, and onion.
Sauté the veggies for 3 minutes.
Add the broth, water, all seasonings, and bring to a boil.
Add the chicken, and reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Once the 30 minutes has passed, add the rice and cover for 15 minutes.
Take the cover off and allow it to cook for about 5 or so minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked through. Serve with your favorite crackers. Enjoy!
