Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup long-grain rice
8 ounces skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
1 large orange
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil and nonstick pan spray
1/4 cup dried cherries
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 dashes of salt
Sprigs cilantro, enough to yield 1 tablespoon chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the rice with 1 cup of water in a heavy-bottom pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 17 minutes.
  • Wash and dry the chicken, and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Combine the lemon and lime juices; grate the orange rind to yield 1 teaspoon, and add to the juices with the mustard and sugar. Brush the chicken with the mixture, and set aside until it is time to cook.
  • To cook, heat a small nonstick pan until it is hot. Reduce heat to medium high, lightly spray with nonstick pan spray and add the oil. Saute the chicken strips in the hot oil until they are golden on both sides.
  • Peel orange and cut sections in half. When rice is cooked, add orange sections, cherries, pepper and salt.
  • Wash, dry and chop the cilantro. Serve the chicken strips with the rice, sprinkled with cilantro.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. The chicken was cooked well and the rice was fluffy, but the oranges and dried cherries were a bit overpowering. I would recommend using less of them next time.
