Rice and chicken dish that's sweet and yummy! It looks great and is very colorful and easy to make. I was playing around with pineapple and chicken and came up with this, it has all of my favorite items in it.

Ingredients

  • 1 box instant five-minute rice
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • equal parts of olive oil & butter
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 orange bell pepper, diced
  • 1-2 lb. mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 large cans pineapple chunks
  • pineapple juice
  • cornstarch

Directions

Prepare rice according to box directions. In a large skillet add butter and olive oil. Salt and pepper chicken to taste, add to pan, and cook chicken until done and golden brown. In the meantime, prepare your other ingredients, by dicing them. In a different large skillet add butter and oil to the pan for the veggies. Add the veggies and cook, add pineapple and juice to veggies while they are still a bit crunchy.

Mix together a rue of pineapple juice & cornstarch to thicken the sauce, and add to veggies. Serve rice and chicken side by side, and place sauce over both or either side.

  • I don't like the idea of instant rice. No nutrition there. I would try to substitute the whole grain

  • if you have a 99 cent or dollar store they carry a lot of the ingredients for a lot cheaper then regular stores that is where i do my shopping

  • how bad can it be? there is no fat except for what you are sauteeing the chicken in (my guess 1 tbs of each, maybe) and the only sugar is the pineapple.

  • I buy chicken and canned items only when it is on sale. Sort the chicken and package in portions and freeze. You can even buy the peppers on sale, cut them up and freeze. This is definitely a budget meal and sounds like it has lots of flavor. Although I LOVE mushrooms, I might only use 8 oz, otherwise the flavor might over power the pineapple. You go girl!

  • I agree, without the nutritional information, I won't even try the recipe.

  • I agree, it does not sound like a budget recipe. It does sound good.

  • This recipe has quite a lot of stuff in it. While it sounds fabulous, it doesn't seem quite budget friendly.

  • Would it be possible to publish the nutritional amounts withe rhe recipes. I'm on Weight Watchers and without the calories, fiber and fat, I don't want to attempt these recipes. Any ideas?
