Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 medium skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 6.9 ounce package chicken-flavored rice mix (such as RICE-A-RONI®
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 1 cup apple juice
  • 1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 0.25 cup raisins

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. Heat remaining butter over medium heat in the same skillet. Saute rice from rice mix in the hot butter until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in water, apple juice, apple, onion, raisins, and seasoning packet from rice mix slowly. Bring to a boil. Place chicken over rice. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers and rice is tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
