âThis dish is so attractive and healthy. I tried a similar recipe, but the addition of citrus and honey makes it so much better.â Mary Wilhelm - Sparta, Wisconsin Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked minute® brown rice |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1 medium sweet orange pepper, sliced |

1/3 cup orange juice |
2 tablespoons water |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon paprika |
dash pepper |
