Brazilian Chicken and Rice with Olives Description: Add corn biscuits (you can find them in the supermarket refrigerator case) and a romaine, arugula, and radicchio salad with goat cheese. Coffee ice cream drizzled with Kahlúa is a nice dessert. Ingredients: 1 pound skinless boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips 1/4 cup olive oil 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 teaspoon grated orange peel 1 cup water 1/2 cup orange juice 1 cup yellow rice mix with seasoning packet (from 8-ounce box) 1/2 cup (packed) pimiento-stuffed Spanish olives, halved 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro Orange wedges Directions: Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt and generously with ground black pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic, and peel; sauté until chicken is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add 1 cup water and orange juice and bring to boil. Mix in rice, seasoning packet, and olives. Return to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand covered 10 minutes. Stir cilantro into rice mixture. Transfer to platter. Garnish with orange wedges.
