Balsamic Chicken with Basil Rice


This recipe was supposed to Balsamic Chicken with Garlic Couscous.  Since couscous has gluten, I substituted rice and since hubby gets sick from garlic, I used some garden grown basil.

I made a mistake when I planned the weekly menu forgetting WWDH.  I can't forget Donna and her recipes.  I enjoy them too much.  Margaret selected this week's dish and I am thinking, we all agree it is a wonderful choice.


After marinating the chicken, it is cooked in a fry pan for a few minutes on both sides.  The rice is cooked in the soup and I added the basil.  Although, this has differences from Donna's recipe, it is a great dinner.  I served some baby spinach with it to finish out the plate.


Please check out the ladies of our Donna Hay group and to see the results for this dish. Margaret,     Gaye and    Sarah.   Kayte is taking a break and I miss her already.  

The recipe is online here.

  1. Glad to see you back. Good idea to sub in the rice. I think it would be good with quinoa, too.

  2. And I used buckwheat with mine. That part is quite flexible, eh! Using basil instead sounds like an interesting idea, and I also wonder how it would taste with ginger. Great photo!
