Ingredients:
Rice
—–
Rice
1 ½ cups white rice
3 cups water
Chicken
—–
3 Large Chicken Breasts
Sauce
—–
3/4 cup (6floz) Pineapple juice (and juice from tidbits)
1/2 cup white vinegar
2/3 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
4 Tbsp catsup
Hot sauce (optional I have never tried it with this.. fyi)
Salt to taste (I don’t use salt)
Veggies
1 small can pineapple tidbits
¼ – 1/2 Diced Onion
¼ Sliced Bell pepper (we like Yellow or Orange)
—————–Trying another version for sauce———-
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Directions:
- Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk to combine.
- As it starts heating up, keep whisking constantly until it thickens into a sauce consistency. It will thicken as it cools. Adjust sweet with sugar, tang with vinegar, saltiness with salt to taste.
Procedure
you will want to time 1,2 and 3 so that they are ready at the same time for #4
1- Get the rice started – Mix 1 ½ cups rice and 3 cups water and cook (We use a rice cooker although it can be done in a pot… somehow 🙂
2- Start the chicken Cooking – De-fat the chicken, cut into cubes, place in a large saucepan on Med-Hi (use oil as desired) until fully cooked (we like it cooked well)
3- Prepare the sauce – In a small pot, whisk together (all of the sauce ingredients) pineapple juice, white vinegar, water, brown sugar, catsup, hot sauce, salt and cornstarch and bring to boil until mixed well.
4- Pour sauce over cubed chicken (still in the saucepan) and let simmer on low until ready to serve
5- Dice up Onions, bell peppers
6- Sauté onions in a small saucepan. Add peppers and pineapples
Serve
Simply stack it up: Rice – sautéed veggies and fruit – Chicken sauce – ENJOY!
Because of our love for Asian foods and restrictions of Gluten Free, we found and altered this recipe and it turned out awesome. I do often add sautéed asparagus on the side for color.
We do update recipes as we adjust them to better suit our needs so check back often. Be sure to submit your pictures to our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/DILLYSADV so we can see how it turned out for you!
