Instructions

1

Prepare RICE-A-RONI® as package directs, substituting oil for margarine. Cool for 10-15 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, heat cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet; add chicken breasts, cooking for 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and done. Remove to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite-sized pieces.

3

In a large mixing bowl toss together gently the cooled RICE-A-RONI®, cooked chicken, onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and jalapeño peppers.

4

Whisk together vinegar, oil, marmalade, allspice, salt and pepper, blending well. Add to RICE-A-RONI® mixture, tossing gently to coat thoroughly.

5

Add avocado, mango and sunflower seed kernels just before serving, tossing gently until well blended. Divide among 4 serving plates, serving over crisp salad greens.
