Easy Peachy Broccoli Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 (15 ounce) can peaches in light syrup, diced, syrup reserved
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

1. Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 20 minutes until cooked.
2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for approximately 8 minutes on each side, ensuring the juices run clear. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
3. Combine the peaches and syrup in the same skillet. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced by half and thickened into a delicious glaze.
4. Place the broccoli florets and a splash of water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover the dish and microwave on High for approximately 5 minutes, or until the broccoli reaches your desired tenderness.
5. Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet with the peach glaze. Add the steamed broccoli, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until everything is heated through and nicely coated with the flavorful syrup. Serve immediately over the cooked rice.
