- Prepare rice according to directions listed on package.
- Halfway through the rice cooking, in a separate large pot, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and sauté 4 minutes, add garlic and sauté 30 seconds longer.
- Add chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken and bring mixture to a boil.
- Cover pot with lid, reduce to medium-low heat and allow mixture to simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 - 16 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (rotating chicken to opposite side once during cooking for thicker chicken breasts - if they don't fully immerse in broth).
- Remove chicken and set aside on cutting board to cool for 5 minutes then shred into small bite size pieces. Leave soup covered over warm or low heat.
- Meanwhile in a separate medium saucepan, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook 1 1/2 minutes, whisking constantly.
