Island Lime Chicken And Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon rum flavoring
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 (6 ounce) package long grain and wild rice blend
1/2 cup salted cashews, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Brown chicken well in oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat; season with salt and pepper. Combine corn syrup, lime peel, lime juice and rum flavoring; pour over chicken. Reduce heat, cover and cook over low heat until chicken is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
While chicken is cooking, bring broth to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in contents of rice and seasoning packets; bring to a boil. Cover tightly; cook over low heat until all liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in cashews. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. Remove excess fat from pan drippings with paper toweling. Bring pan drippings to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until reduced to glaze consistency. Arrange rice and chicken on serving platter. Spoon glaze over chicken.
