Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start rice in a separate pot with 3 cups water and salt; bring to a boil.

  2. Step 2

    Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 1 minute.

  4. Step 4

    Sear chicken 3 minutes per side without moving until golden, then remove.

  5. Step 5

    Whisk marmalade and BBQ sauce in the same skillet, then return chicken and coat thoroughly.

  6. Step 6

    Simmer together 2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to the chicken.

  7. Step 7

    Serve chicken and glaze over the cooked white rice.
