Yield: 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 30 minutes

Cost per serving: $1.35

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked instant brown rice

1 cup water

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce

Directions:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• In a small bowl, mix the rice and water. Soak 5 minutes; drain.
• Cut 4 (approximately 10×12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray the center of one side of each piece with cooking spray. Spoon one-fourth of the rice on the center of each sheet. Top each with 1 chicken breast.
• In a small bowl, mix honey, lime juice and Sriracha sauce. Spoon evenly over chicken.
• Bring up 2 opposite sides of each piece of foil so the edges meet. Seal edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold. Fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold the remaining two sides to seal. Place packets on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until the juice of the chicken runs clear. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
