MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN AND RICE 
4 fresh or frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups UNCLE BEN'S® Instant brown rice (I use the white rice)
1 tbsp. olive oil (I use Trader Joe's olive spray)
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
16 pitted Kaamata olives (Trader Joes has these too and they make the flavor of the dish)
2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Prep - CLEAN: Wash hands, remove protective ice glaze from frozen chicken by holding under cool water 1 to 2 minutes. Wash hands AGAIN.

Cook: In large nonstick skillet, heat oil or cooking spray and garlic; add chicken. Cook over medium heat 4 to 6 minutes (7 minutes if using frozen chicken) or until chicken is browned. Stir in tomatoes, water and oregano; over. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes or until rices is cooked and internal juices of chicken run clear. (Or insert instant-read meat thermometer in thickest part of chicken. Temp should read 170.) Stir in olives and sprinkle with cheese. Serve with tossed green salad with Italian vinaigrette.

Serves 4; Prep. time: 5 minutes; Cook time 30 minutes.
