Garden-Fresh Chicken and Rice

By DreiFromBK

Precooking the rice in the microwave and finishing it in the same pan as the chicken and vegetables significantly cut down on the overall cooking time for our Garden-Fresh Chicken and Rice recipe. To guarantee perfectly cooked chicken, we used breasts that were all the same size and weight.

Ingredients

• 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• Salt and pepper
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds) (see note)

• 1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen
• 3 scallions, sliced thin
