Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cups low sodium chicken broth ( reduce salt to 1/4 tsp if you are using regular stock)
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup currants

Directions:

Chop chicken into bit size pieces. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of the salt and pepper all over chicken.
In large nonstick skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; pour off fat in pan.
Add butter and remaining oil to pan; heat until butter is foaming. Add onion and garlic; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in pine nuts and currants; cook, stirring, until the pine nuts are browned, about 3 minutes (watch carefully as they can go from brown to burnt very quickly).
Add rice, allspice, cumin and remaining salt, cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat rice.
Add the chicken stock. Place the chicken on top of the rice mixture, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low to very low (depending on heat of your stovetop), cover and cook until rice is tender, about 20 - 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff rice with fork.
