       ■1 cup (250 mL) long-grain parboiled brown rice
       ■4 cups (1 L) water
       ■2 stalks celery, finely chopped
       ■2 tart cooking apples, finely chopped
       ■1 small onion, chopped
       ■1 tsp (5 mL) dried sage or thyme
       ■4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, each about 4 oz (125
       g)
       ■1 tsp (5 mL) vegetable oil
       ■2 3/4 oz (80 g) lower fat Monterey Jack or swiss cheese,
       shredded (about 3/4 cup/175 mL) or 2 oz (60 g) regular Canadian
       Monterey Jack or swiss cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup/125 mL)
       Directions:
       1.In a saucepan, combine rice and water; bring to a boil over
       high heat. Cover with lid slightly ajar, reduce heat to
       medium-low and boil gently for 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is
       almost tender. Spoon off 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the cooking liquid
       and reserve; drain off any remaining liquid.
       2.Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
       3.Lightly oil a 13 x 9-inch (2.5L) glass baking dish. Add rice,
       reserved cooking liquid, celery, apples, onion, sage and pepper
       to baking dish and stir to combine.
       4.Place chicken breasts on top and lightly brush with oil. Cover
       dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5
       to 10 minutes more, or until a thermometer inserted in thickest
       part of chicken registers 170°F (77°C) and chicken is no longer
       pink inside. Sprinkle cheese evenly over casserole and broil for
       about 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand for 5
       minutes before serving.
