A Great Chicken and Rice Recipe

A friend of mine gave me this really great chicken and rice recipe. I’ve been meaning to post it, but forgot I had it until I was looking through my cookbook over the weekend and found it.

Ingredients for Chicken and Rice Recipe

2 bags of Uncle Ben’s boil in bag whole grain brown rice

2 cups of skinless boneless chicken breast cut into pieces

2 medium green apples cut into pieces (you choose the size of the pieces)

1/2 cup of finely chopped red onion

1/3 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts

2 tablespoons of sage (doesn’t matter if it’s fresh)

6 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinaigrette

Instructions for Chicken and Rice Recipe

Cook the brown rice in the bags following the instructions on the box. Cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces and cook it until done. Let the chicken and rice cool.

Once rice and chicken are cooled, combine them together and add the rest of the ingredients and refrigerate.

What I’ve done in the past is cooked the chicken and rice the day before and refrigerate them overnight. Then the next day, add them and the rest of the ingredients together and then put back into the refrigerator a few hours before I plan on eating it.

Give this great chicken and rice recipe a try and let me know what you think.
