Apricots add both sweetness and iron; cooking the broccoli with the chicken and rice means one less pot.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup parboiled long-grain rice
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp slivered dried apricots
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped broccoli florets

Preparation

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pinch of the pepper.

In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken on both sides. Transfer to plate.

Reduce heat to medium; in same skillet, cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until softened and lightly browned. Stir in rice until coated. Stir in stock, apricots, mustard, lemon rind and remaining pepper; bring to boil.

Nestle chicken into rice; reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, turning chicken halfway through. Sprinkle broccoli over rice; cover and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside, liquid is absorbed and rice and broccoli are tender.
