I found this recipe on Pinterest 2 weeks ago and pinned it because it looked delicious and it was from a clean eating site. We bought all the ingredients last week andnever ended up making it so tonight we gave it a shot. Verdict? Yum. But boy oh boy was it spicy. The chicken and the rice were fine but I poured on some of the marinade over the chicken and rice. Holy moly. My lips were seriously burning by the time I was done eating. I even had to pour on some extra sour cream to take away the heat (did you know dairy – especially milk, will counteract anything spicy? Try it. It works).
Anyway, here’s the original recipe that I followed. I used two chicken breasts, orange juice (instead of juicing an orange), omitted the orange rind from the rice (only because I didn’t have any) and used light butter syrup instead of maple (I don’t like maple syrup). For the rice, I also added juice from half of a lime and about a teaspoon of garlic powder.

Enjoy.
