Citrus Chicken and Rice

Here's a really simple recipe that I made a really long time ago on a whim. Best thing about my cooking is a lot of it improvised. This is no exception!

3 chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 cup of orange juice
1/4 cup of soy sauce
4 tablespoons of Smuckers Apricot-Pineapple Preserves or Smuckers Mango Jam
1 1/2 cups of white rice
Stir fry vegetables (optional)

In a small saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice once water comes to a hard boil.

In a medium size over medium heat, cook chicken until is white on all edges. Meanwhile, combine juice, soy sauce, and preserves in a small bowl. Once chicken has turned white, add juice mix and stir until chicken is evenly coated (add more to sauce if needed). Add vegetables if needed. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once chicken is fully cooked, serve over rice (and vegetables if you are using stir fry).
