Serves 4 

  • 2 cups instant white rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken-breast halves (about 4 or 5 ounces each)

    Cook instant rice according to the directions on package.

    Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook chicken breasts in hot oil until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a warm plate; set aside.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

Many of the gadgets in Grandma's kitchen would often do double duty. A turkey baster was great for dispensing pancake batter onto a griddle. A meat pounder could also crush ice. And an egg slicer sliced more than just hard-cooked eggs. Grandma also used it to quickly slice button mushrooms into uniform slices.
