I realised that I'm stuck on a chicken and rice nitch. Most of what I've made in the past 2 months has been chicken or rice or both. No matter what I make, I seem to fall right back into a habit of chicken and rice. Sometimes getting creative takes too much effort- and money!
The only thing I added was the red pepper. I still have some left from the sausages and peppers I cooked last week.
This one is rather basic. I took three boneless, skinless chicken breasts and browned them on all sides in a skillet- the same routine as all the other chicken plates I've made. I added 3 1/2 cups of orange juice, 1/2 tsp of ground mustard, garlic, and 1 1/2 cup of rice. I let it boil before I turned it low and let it simmer for 30 minutes. I forgot to buy an orange to garnish the chicken so I used the pepper. It was from my neighbor's garden so it had a much sweeter taste than store bought peppers. I sprinkled the chicken with paprika since its red. Might as well. Red seemed to fit.
The juice really made the rice tangy. It was good but I couldn't eat too much of it at one time. Next time, I'll water down the juice by maybe 1/2 cup. Since its Sunday and I discovered this morning that I had lost some weight, I decided to celebrate. I had a Chimay Ale with my food and some Ben & Jerry's for desert. There's nothing like celebrating the loss of a little weight than by eating ice cream and gaining it back!
