Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup basmati rice (can use Texmati or long grain rice)
1 3/4 cups water (plus 2 tbsp.)
3/4 cup mango chutney
12 ounces cooked chicken, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted and chopped
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the rice and 1 3/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
  • Meanwhile, combine the chutney and the remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chutney melts and the mixture is smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Combine the rice, chicken, cranberries, pecans and pepper in a large bowl. Toss with melted chutney.
