Back with another recipe, and this one's nice and simple. I think it needs something, though. I'm thinking veggies, but not sure which kind. Let me know your thoughts.
Citrus Chicken and Rice
Original recipe at Wannabe Gourmet
1 1/2 pounds chicken*
2 cups rice
2 cups Pineapple Blend Juice**
3 cups water
Cut chicken if desired, and sear in a pan. Once brown, pour a cup of juice in the pan and cook until juice is reduced. Salt and pepper as desired.
Combine rice, water, and remaining cup of juice and cook until done--I use a rice cooker, so I don't remember the requirements for stovetop rice making). Enjoy!o
My Notes:
*You could probably get away with a pound of chicken for four people, considering a serving size of chicken is 3 ounces.
**I used a pineapple, apple, and orange juice blend, but the original recipe calls for pineapple, orange and banana. I'm not a fan of pineapple, but I liked this dish, so use what you think would appeal to you most.
The juice in the rice gives it just a hint of flavor, and it tastes yummy. As I said, it needs something, I'm just not sure exactly what that something is. Maybe some orange slices. Or mango, or some other fruit. I'll have to think on this one.
