Step 1
Start rice in a separate pot with 3 cups water and salt; bring to a boil.
Step 2
Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving until golden, then remove.
Step 5
Whisk marmalade and BBQ sauce in the same skillet, then return chicken and coat thoroughly.
Step 6
Simmer together 2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.
Step 7
Serve chicken and glaze over the cooked white rice.
