I received this recipe from a customer.  Quite tasty.  Easy to prepare and goes together quickly.  When you are all done, you have a 3-course meal.  Hope you enjoy it. 

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

½ cup long grain rice

3 ½ cups chicken broth

1 cup frozen peas

Salt and pepper

2 tablespoons butter

1 pound fresh green beans

2 chopped scallions 

1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet.  Add rice and toast until brown (about 4 minutes)
2. Stir in 2 ½ cups broth and bring to a boil.  Lower heat to medium-low, cover and cook for 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
3. While rice is cooking, heat remaining olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add chicken and cook 6 minutes on each side.  Remove to plate and cover.
4. Melt one tablespoon of butter in medium sauce pan.  Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute.  Whisk in cider and 1 cup brother and cook until thickened.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
