How To Make bonnie’s mandarin chicken with rice so nice

• 
  Step 1
  I use the rice cooker to make the rice on the long grain rice setting. My rice cooker has a warming setting which will keep the rice hot while you finish cooking the rest of your meal. Wash the long grain rice thoroughly and add it to the rice cooker with two cups of water, one cup of washed rice and a teaspoon of salt. Add the mushrooms and frozen vegetables, If your mixed vegetables contain green beans, chop them in three pieces.

  Step 2
  Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Cut each chicken breast into 6 chunks and saute in the butter.

  Step 3
  Brown the chicken on both sides. About ten minutes.

  Meanwhile, drain the oranges into a small bowl and save the juice. Reserve 1/4 of the orange slices and set aside.

  While the chicken is browning, whisk the cornstarch into the juice until it is smooth, and then add the rest of the ingredients and whisk to blend. Pour the sauce over the browned chicken in the skillet.
