South Seas Chicken Over Rice

8 ounces skinned and boned uncooked chicken breast, cut into 12 pieces

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup unsweetened orange juice

1 tablespoon orange marmalade spreadable fruit

1 1/2 cups frozen sliced carrots, thawed

2 teaspoons light margarine

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 cup hot cooked rice

In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cooking spray, brown chicken and onion for 5 minutes on each side. Stir in orange juice, spreadable fruit, carrots, margarine and rosemary.

Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until chicken and carrots are tender, stirring often. For each serving, place 1/2 cup rice on a plate and spoon about 1 cup chicken mixture over top. Serves 2.

Hints: 1) Thaw carrots by placing in a colander and rinsing under hot water for one minute. 2) Usually 2/3 cup uncooked instant rice cooks to about 1 cup.
