Rice Cooker Recipes – Sweetened Orange Rice

I love my  rice cooker. Like LOVE it. Don’t tell my crock pot, but it’s possible I like it even more than it. And that’s tough because I’m obsessed with my crock pot. The thing about a rice cooker is that it’s so forgiving. If I just got home and realized I forgot to throw dinner in the crock pot and only have a few minutes before dinner, rice cooker to the rescue.  I throw some chicken on the grill & whip up a batch of rice.

I’ve been experimenting with different kinds of rice and now, pain old white rice seems boring. My whole family liked the Chicken and Thyme Rice with Carrots I made awhile back and this recipe was a big hit too! I’m telling you, rice cookers are where it’s at!

Ingredients

2 cups jasmine rice
2 1/2 cups chicken stock {or water if you prefer}
1 cup orange marmalade {I used my Orange Marmalade Recipe}

Directions

Measure 2 cups jasmine rice and rinse in a fine-mesh sieve.

Place the chicken stock, rice and marmalade in a rice cooker, stir and cook as you would regular white rice.

If you don’t have a rice cooker, place all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan, stir and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.

Serve as a side dish or if you’re feeling too lazy to make a main dish, eat a big fat bowl of rice for dinner. Works for me!
