Use your Favorite Rice! Mine is Jasmine rice (but any rice will do the trick).

For rice portion of this dish:

Saute in a Pan

  • 2 T. Butter
  • one whole green pepper chopped and deseeded
  • one white or yellow onion

Just before burning, quickly add

  • 2 C. Rice (I make more for leftovers)
  • Add one box (32 ozs.) of Organic Chicken Broth
  • 1 T. Chicken base or 1 cube of Chicken Bouillon

Bring to boil, then, reduce to simmer and cover, cook for 40 minutes (until tender).

For the chicken portion of this dish, saute in another pan;

  • 1 T. Butter
  • 2 T. Oil
  • 1-2 Onions
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced

ADD as many chicken breasts as you need for your family (raw or frozen) – Cook thoughly!  Cut chicken into 1-2 inch pieces.

Then add;

  • 2-4 T. of Pepper Jam or Raspberry or Blackberry Habanero Jam
  • Toss until completely covered.
  • Take off heat and place the chicken with the rice.

ENJOY!

Feeds 2-3 ppl.

  • ½ onion diced & sauted in olive oil
  • ½ clove of garlic minced
  • 16 oz can of black beans
  • 16 oz can kidney beans
  • 16 oz can tomato cause
  • 1 C salsa (we use mild)
  • 2 T chili powder 1 tsp. salt (we use sea salt) sometimes we add a little already cooked chicken chopped up into bite sized pieces.

Bring to a boil, and then its ready to serve. Should only take 15 minutes to make.

I like it thick, but if you want it a little thinner add one cup of chicken stock.

JOHNSON BERRY FARM RECOMMENDS
Tayberry Spread for an elegant berry sauce without added sugar or any of the Pepper Jams if you want a pork and sauce with an added kick!

45 Minutes before dinner:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
  • Remove the pork from the bag, retaining the marinade. Place the pork on a foil lined cookie sheet, spraying the foil with PAM.
  • Bake the pork in the oven for 35 minutes, remove and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • While the pork rests, pour the marinade into a small saucepan, bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes.
  • Slice the pork, and pour the sauce over the slices or serve in gravy boat.
