Pineapple Chicken

*Inspired by a recipe found in Everyday with Rachael Ray

Looking for a way to add another serving of fruit to your day? Just throw some pineapple in with your chicken! It's the obvious solution!

In a skillet, brown 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks and seasoned with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken and then saute one red bell pepper, thinly sliced, in the same pan. 5 minutes later, add a package of mushrooms, sliced, and saute for 5 more minutes. Then add a 20 oz can of pineapple chunks, drained (but reserve the juice!)


In a small bowl, whisk together 4 Tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tsp ground ginger, 1/2 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the can), and 1 Tablespoon of corn starch.

Return the chicken to the pan, and then stir in the liquid mixture. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Serve over rice and with steamed broccoli.


Enjoy!
