- 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chopped lemon thyme
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Method
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Mix the rice with tomatoes, broth, chopped lemon thyme and 1 tablespoon of the oil.
Transfer to a lightly oiled casserole dish.
Arrange chicken on top of rice mixture, pushing down just a little to nestle it in.
Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
Lay the sprigs of lemon thyme over the top.
Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove lemon thyme sprigs, sprinkle with feta cheese over the top and serve.
