With our busy ranch life, we often need to put meals on the table in a hurry, writes Kat Thompson of Prineville, Oregon. This lemon-flavored chicken dish always fits the bill. Ingredients:
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
3/4 cup chicken broth |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional |
3/4 cup uncooked minute® white rice |
1/3 cup frozen peas |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook the first four ingredients in butter. Combine cornstarch, broth, lemon juice and salt if desired until smooth; add to skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in rice and peas. Remove from the heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Yield: 2 servings.
