Directions

After crossing the finish line, replenish your body and soul with this one-dish carbohydrate-packed meal. Chicken and cheese provide needed protein, while apricots and orange juice deliver a punch of potassium – crucial nutrients for sports recovery.

COMBINE orange juice and water in a large saucepan; bring to boil.

ADD rice, stir once and cover pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.

FLUFF rice with fork. Mix in chicken and cheese. Gently fold in apricots and almonds and season with salt and pepper. (Recipe can be made a day in advance and reheated in microwave.)
