Instructions

  1. 1

    Start rice in a separate pot with 3 cups water and salt; bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving until golden, then remove.

  5. 5

    Whisk marmalade and BBQ sauce in the same skillet, then return chicken and coat thoroughly.

  6. 6

    Simmer together 2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.

  7. 7

    Serve chicken and glaze over the cooked white rice.
