Season the chicken and brown both sides in a pan. Remove them from the pan and put aside. In the same pan heat some oil and fry off some diced onion and garlic and thyme, add 2 cups of uncooked rice, a tin of diced tomatoes (or 2 or 3 chopped tomatoes if you don't have tinned), roughly 3 cups of chicken stock, parsley and basil. Bring to boil. Pour it all into a baking dish and place the chicken pieces on top of the rice mixture. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or so at 180ish until the chicken is cooked through and the rice is soft....YUM.
