I can throw this together quickly after work and still serve a satisfying dinner. Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
4 to 4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1/2 cup julienned sweet red pepper |
1/2 cup thinly sliced zucchini |
1 tablespoon butter |
3/4 cup uncooked instant rice |
3/4 cup cubed cooked chicken breast |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine cornstarch, garlic powder and lemon peel. Stir in broth and lemon juice until smooth; set aside. In a 3-cup microwave-safe dish, cook pepper and zucchini in butter until crisp-tender. Stir in broth mixture and rice. Cover; microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir in chicken. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes; fluff rice. Cook 30-45 seconds, until heated through. Yield: 2 servings.
