2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Rice:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 medium onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 cup rice
2 ounces thin spaghetti or vermicelli or angel hair pasta,
    broken into 1 inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
2 1/2 cups hot water
3 chicken bouillon cubes or 2 teaspoons instant bouillon granules
1 bay leaf

Make the Chicken: In a large resealable plastic bag or a large covered bowl, combine chicken, bloody Mary mix, prepared horseradish and Worcestershire; chill for at least 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare grill for low heat. Remove chicken from marinade. Grill chicken until tender, 10-15 minutes.

In a small saucepan, bring marinade to a boil over medium heat; transfer sauce to a serving pitcher and set aside.

Make the Rice: In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery to the skillet; cook for 5 minutes. Add rice and spaghetti; stir until rice is golden, about 3 minutes. Add hot water, a little at a time, to the skillet; stir in bouillon cubes, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon lime zest and pepper. Bring rice mixture to a boil, stirring until bouillon cubes are dissolved. Reduce heat to low; cover skillet and simmer rice until tender, about 15 minutes. Remove bay leaf; stir in remaining lime zest.

Serve the Chicken and Rice. Transfer rice to individual plates; top with chicken. Garnish with celery leaves and lime wedges; serve with reserved sauce.
