This dish is my own invention with a little borrowed from Uncle Ben and a little borrowed from my friend Alice. It has been tried and tested and is definitely yummy!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 Tbsp butter
1 pkg uncle ben's long grain & wild rice fast cook recipe
1/2 c chicken broth
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c spicy brown mustard
1 c apricot preserves
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. In a large skillet (I use my electric skillet) over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts to taste. Place in the skillet and cook, covered, for 40 minutes.
  • 2. In the meantime, prepare the rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
  • 3. In a small saucepan, place chicken broth, brown sugar, spicy brown mustard and apricot preserves. Over medium heat, stir mixture often until heated through, about 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand until chicken is done. Sauce will thicken as it stands.
  • 4. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with the wild rice.
