Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat broth, apple juice, bay leaf, garlic and 1/2 tsp (2 mL) paprika to a boil in large skillet, stirring occasionally. Add chicken; cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Turn chicken over.
2. Add rice around chicken. Top with vegetables. Return to boil; reduce heat to low.
3. Simmer, covered, until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender – about 25 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Sprinkle with remaining paprika, chopped fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.


Recipe Tips:
To change things up, try one of the following recipe twists:

Curried Chicken Dinner: Prepare as above, omitting paprika. Add 1/2 tbsp (7 mL) curry powder to broth mixture and 1/2 cup (125 mL) raisins with vegetables. Garnish with freshly diced apples, if desired.

Cranberry Chicken Dinner: Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) dried cranberries and 1 tsp (5 mL) poultry seasoning to broth mixture. Replace plain rice with long grain and wild rice blend. For vegetables, use 1 cup (250 mL) each, sliced celery and chopped onion.
