This all-in-one chicken and rice skillet has loads of sweet maple and bacon flavour.

Ingredients

Season the chicken as desired. Heat the oil in a large deep nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Add the carrots and garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until fragrant.
Stir in the soup, water, maple syrup and mustard; heat to a boil. Stir in the rice. Cover with a lid, reduce and simmer, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
Stir in corn. Return the chicken to the pan. Cook, covered for 3 minutes until the rice is tender. Remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.

Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or basil, if desired.
You can replace the carrots with sliced peppers or your favourite veggie. You can also omit them and use 2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables or frozen cut broccoli in place of the corn.
