Chicken and Rice Skillet recipe

Curry powder and orange juice add flavor to this easy and tasty skillet meal.

Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash salt
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas or peas and carrots

Preparation:

Wash chicken breasts and pat dry.

Combine the brown sugar, curry powder, mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

Cut chicken breasts into 1/2-inch pieces and put in another bowl. Sprinkle chicken with 1 scant tablespoon of the curry powder mixture and the 1 tablespoon of flour; toss to coat chicken pieces.

Heat oil in a large skillet; add the chicken and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 to 4 minutes. Add the green onions and cook for 1 minute longer.

Combine the remaining curry powder mixture with the chicken broth and orange juice. Add the orange juice mixture to the skillet and stir in the rice. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in peas or peas and carrots; cover and simmer for about 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until liquids are absorbed.
