Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons canola, vegetable or other high-temperature cooking oil
1 cup white rice
1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
6 chicken cutlets or chicken thighs or 6 thin pork loin chops
1 large bundle broccolini or 1 head broccoli
Salt
1 1/2 inches fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped or grated
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons tamari (aged soy sauce)
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews

Steps:

  • In a sauce pot, heat 1 1/2 cups of the stock and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and stir in the rice. Lower the heat and bring to a bubble, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add the scallions.
  • Meanwhile, thinly slice the chicken or pork.
  • Trim the broccolini or broccoli and cut into 2-inch pieces or florets. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a shallow pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Salt the water and cook the broccolini or florets until tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat while the broccolini cooks. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the oil and when it begins to smoke or ripple, add the chicken and brown it for 5 to 6 minutes, turning once, then transfer it to a plate. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan, stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tamari, the marmalade, and the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Slide the chicken, broccolini, and cashews into the pan and stir to combine with the sauce. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Scoop the chicken mixture into serving dishes, top with a scoop of rice, and serve.

ORANGE-CASHEW CHICKEN AND RICE

I like to experiment with different ingredients when I make this popular dish. Try celery instead of bok choy or toasted almonds instead of cashews. Each and every combination turns out great! -Aysha Schurman, Ammon, Idaho
