Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine fresh orange juice, grapefruit juice, sweet Thai chili sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Marinate the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-lock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.
Cook the Rice
While the chicken is marinating, rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Prepare the Broccoli
In a steamer basket, steam the broccoli florets for about 5-7 minutes, or until bright green and tender-crisp. Set aside.
Serve
Slice the chicken and serve it over a bed of brown rice, topped with steamed broccoli and drizzled with additional sweet Thai chili sauce if desired.
