Total Time:

Ingredients:

1 tsp. olive oil
2 tbsp. diced red onion
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
3/4 lb. asparagus, stems trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp. orange zest
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a medium-size non-stick skillet and sauté onion (don't brown) for 5 minutes. Add rice and sauté 1 minute. Add asparagus, orange juice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil; cover and place in oven (transfer to covered casserole dish if skillet is not oven-proof). Bake 15 minutes and test rice (liquid should be absorbed and rice should be tender). Add grated orange zest, salt and pepper to taste, and toss well.
