Many years ago, the start of 2009 to be exact, found me in a frugal frame of mind – probably brought on by a spending spree on clothing. As a result I found myself buying one of those giant “max pack” packages of chicken breast. Of course these packages have an amazing price per pound, but you also have to either freeze a ton or use it up quickly. This time I choose to use it up and my family happily ate chicken for a week without complaining. Lucky for me the husband liked what I had been making as I did not get one complaint that every dinner for a week had chicken as the main protein! I think you will like this recipe for rosemary chicken with rice. This dish went together quickly and easily. This was tasty and healthy too – win win for mom.
Rosemary Chicken with Rice
1 cup wild rice
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced (I use a garlic press)
1 ¼ lb. skinless/boneless chicken breast, cubed
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 tbsp. fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
¼ cup + 2 tbsp. orange marmalade
¼ cup Dijon mustard (ok to use a bit less if you are not a big mustard fan)
Black pepper to taste
- Cook rice according to package directions
- Heat oil in skillet, add garlic, saute until golden
- Add chicken and carrot, saute
- Stir frequently
- Mix in rosemary and cook until chicken is cooked all the way
- While chicken is cooking, stir marmalade, mustard and pepper together
- Stir into cooked chicken
- Add rice and toss to combine
