A delicious side dish that compliments any dinner menu. Done in one pan, this is always a hit with my family.

With kitchen shears, cut 3 slices of bacon at a time into bite size pieces.

Cook in a large skillet, separating and stirring until crispy.

Remove the bacon from the pan and cook onions and chopped celery in bacon grease.

Just before they are cooked all the way through, add uncooked rice and brown lightly.
Add 2 cups of chicken broth, the sage, thyme, parsley and crisped bacon.
