Lemonade Chicken

Serves 2

Ingredients:
Minute Rice 1 cup rice, and 1 cup water
2 Chicken Breasts
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 (6oz) can Frozen Lemonade Concentrate *
1/2 cup water (divided, 1/4, and 1/4)
1 Tbsp Chicken Bouillon
3 Bell Peppers (using 3 different colored peppers is festive)
2 tsp Cornstarch

Preparation:

1. Cut chicken into strips. Saute chicken in 2 tbsp oil until cooked through, reduce heat to medium.
2. Add lemonade concentrate, 1/4 cup water, and bouillon. Simmer 10 minutes.
3. Cook minute rice according to package directions, set aside.
4. Add peppers to chicken mixture, cover and cook 5 minutes until peppers are crisp-tender.
5. In a small bowl mix cornstarch and 1/4 cup water until smooth. Pour into chicken mixture and bring to boil for 1 minute stirring constantly.
6. Serve over rice.

*Note on Lemonade Concentrate: I’ve never been able to find 6oz frozen lemonade concentrate in my area.  I usually take a 12oz, stir it up to mix the separated corn syrup back with the lemonade.  Divide it in half, use half in the recipe, then mix the other half with 2 cans of water to make lemonade.
