Chicken, Apple, and Rice Salad

Chicken, Apple, and Rice Salad (1/31/11)

I wanted something light, healthy, and easy for dinner the other night.  I saw a picture of something that looked like this in a magazine I was flipping though at work.  I got lucky--I don't always get paid to read magazines, but someone needed my computer and there was nothing else for me to do!  The picture stayed in my head all day and when I got home, I knew what I would be making for dinner!

You will need:

2 cups brown rice, cooked

2 chicken breasts

3 Tablespoons honey

1 apple (I used a Golden Delicious apple)

1.  Cook chicken breasts in a frying pan.

2.  When chicken is about half cooked, pour honey over each breast.  This will result in a very deep red/brown color, go ahead and let the chicken get some good color!

3.  While chicken is cooking, core and dice apple.

4.  In a bowl, combine rice, chicken, and apple.  This can be served warm or room temperature, as a main dish or a side!
