Steps
- 1
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the onion and celery in olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the rice and continue cooking until the rice has browned slightly. Stir in the garlic and cook an additional minute.
- 2
Add the chicken broth (I use homemade carcass broth) and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in the basil, oregano and pepper, cover the pot and cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. (See note below.)
- 3
Stir in the chicken pieces and continue cooking just until the chicken is warmed through, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and feta cheese. Serve immediately.

NOTE: For this recipe, I use a rotisserie chicken from the deli. After removing the meat, I make a rich chicken broth from the carcass. I use about half the meat from the rotisserie chicken in this recipe, chopped into large pieces.
