Apple Pecan Chicken Roll-ups
Serves 4 at 87 milligrams sodium each, no kidding.
This is easy but pretty enough to serve company or for special occasions.
1/2 cup apple juice (in the fall when cider is at its best try that instead)
1/2 cup instant brown rice
1/4 cup unsalted pecans, chopped
3 tablespoons green onion, chopped
4 skinless, boned chicken breasts, about a pound total
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup unpeeled apple, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In small saucepan, bring apple juice to a boil. Add rice, cover, reduce to simmer for 8-10 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. (It will scorch if not watched carefully). Stir in apple, pecans and onions. Remove from heat. Pound each breast to 1/4 inch thick between waxed paper. Place 1/4 of the rice mixture on each and roll up tucking in edges. Secure with toothpick. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned. Place in shallow baking pan and bake 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink. Carefully pull out toothpicks before serving.
