About
Sunshine Chicken gets its bright, sweet flavors from cooking with orange juice. The result is a shimmering sensation of savoriness and sugariness, with a little tartness and tang. Served alongside fluffy rice soaked with the same citrus wonder and with a touch of heat from curry powder, Sunshine Chicken makes the evening bright with its wonderful tastes.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 (5-ounce) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, halved
- 1 1/2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- fresh parsley, optional, to taste, chopped, for topping
Directions
Step 1 -Combine the curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper.
Step 2 -Rub the seasoning mixture over the chicken.
Step 3 -In a skillet over medium heat on the stovetop, combine the orange juice, the rice, the water, the brown sugar, the mustard, and the remaining salt.
Step 4 -Add the chicken halves to the skillet.
Step 5 -Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6 -Reduce the heat and cover the skillet.
Step 7 -Let the mixture simmer until the chicken juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165 degrees F.
Step 8 -Remove the skillet from the heat and let it stand, covered, until all the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
Step 9 -Top with the chopped parsley and serve!
