Another Recipe: Citrus Chicken & Rice

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

1 3/4 cups chicken broth                    1 c uncooked white or brown rice

1/2 c. orange juice                              3 TBSP chopped parsley

1/2 c chopped onion                            sauteed orange slices

1. cook chicken in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 10 minutes or until browned. Set aside.

2. Mix the broth, orange juice, onion and rice. Heat to boil. Cover and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.

3. Return chicken to skillet and add broth/rice mixture. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until chicken and rice are cooked. Stir in parsley.

For a special touch, saute orange slices in a hot nonstick skillet until lightly browned. Garnish chicken with slices.

I thought this was a wonderful, yet easy meal that looked delicious when I served it.

* Okay, I made this dish for my family last night. Let's just say, I have a whole new appreciation for my Mother-In-Law (how did she feed Topher all those years...& he was even pickier as a kid!). Chris started loitering in the kitchen to see what ingredients I was using as I was preparing it. 85% of the preparation time, I had Asher on my hip ready to eat himself. I served dinner with what I thought was a wonderful presentation. Alivia sat down and said she would not eat it and wanted dessert, Addison, normally the good eater, immediately wanted down off of her chair (she has a cold), Topher cut up the chicken into 4 pieces and did not eat it and just said he tried the rice (but I knew he had not) & just ate breadsticks. Within 5 minutes, the table was cleared. At least I thought it was good! Now, do not ask why I do not cook dinner for my family! Um, there is really no point. I may as well just buy food and throw it into the trash and save myself the time and energy of cooking. :)
