Tea Chicken

My house pretty much lives on chicken. It's cheap and easy to cook and nobody wants you to bother making their chicken medium or rare. Here is a recipe I came up with out of boredom. I call it tea chicken. You can use any kind of tea and spices, but if you don't know your spices well, then you can just follow my lead...

For this recipe, you will need:
(Chicken)
4 orange tea bags
2 pieces of frozen chicken
3 tbs cinnamon
2 tsp sugar

(Rice)
1 cup minute rice
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cranberries


Throw some water in a medium sized pot with all four tea bags. Toss in the frozen chicken and then clean up the water you spilled everywhere by literally tossing it. Throw in the cinnamon and sugar and put the burner on high. When it comes to a boil, let it cook for about 30 minutes. After about 15 minutes, poke a few holes in your chicken with a fork to let more of the flavor into the middle. Then forget about this part until the timer goes off.

While your water is boiling, throw your rice, water and orange juice into a medium sized bowl and heat for about 6 minutes in the microwave. The orange juice factor can make it get frothy, so I suggest you throw a paper towel in under the bowl. When the rice has finished, throw the cranberries in and mix.

When the chicken finishes, sprinkle it with a little cinnamon and salt to taste, serve on a bed of rice and enjoy this festive meal.
