Hawaiian Chicken and Rice Stir Fry |
Progressive Vegetable Chopper.....GREAT gadget! |
I use this handy dandy Progressive veggie chopper to do my peppers and carrots.....
It's kinda like the "Slap Chop" advertised on T.V. but it's only about $30 bucks. |
Slap it.....and it chops up the veggies pretty quickly and perfectly! |
Here are my veggies chopped up and ready to stir fry (I just use an oiled fry pan) |
Then while they are frying up for just about 5-7 minutes I make the sauce....
My Sweet Sauce......It tastes like a light, sweet, Teriyaki sauce.... |
Here are the veggies all stir fried...with Hawaiian sauce added..... |
Then I slice up and add the chicken to the fry pan....and add a few Tablespoons more of sauce to it! |
Then when the rice is ready it's time to put it all together! Then pour a few spoonfuls over rice. Yummy! It's healthy and colorful and the hubs LOVES it. I made enough to put in Rubbermaid containers for our lunches the next day.
If you want to....make a big vat of it and freeze half of it in a zip lock baggie.....for another meal! |
It would be good with fresh mushrooms too...and I added a few stalks of celery to this batch too....I use whatever veggies I have on hand....broccoli is good with this recipe too! |
Let's EAT! |
Sweet and Sour or Hawaiian Sauce:
3/4 Cup (basically the juice of 1 can) of pineapple juice
1/4 Cup of soy sauce
1/3 Cup of rice vinegar
1/2 Cup of brown sugar
2 T ketchup
1 1/2 T corn starch
Chicken Tenders - About 10 or 2-3 chicken breasts sliced up
(or you could use small meatballs too)
(or you could use small meatballs too)
1/4 Sweet onion (Like a Vidalia) chop into 1/2 inch pieces
3/4 cup green or red pepper diced into 1/2 inch pieces
Sugar snap peas or Japanese pea pods
handful of thinly sliced carrots or diced carrots
1/2 Cup pineapple tidbits (or 3-4 rings, sliced into tidbits)
DIRECTIONS:
Stir fry all the veggies with a few tablespoons of oil. Drain. Then add 2 Tablespoons of the sauce over the veggies. You can stir fry the chicken in a separate fry pan with a little oil adding the sauce at the last 3 minutes. Or if I am in a hurry I separately bake the chicken covering it in foil and adding the sauce the last 15 minutes of cooking). Then slice up the chicken and add to the vegetables. Steam a few cups of rice in a rice cooker. Then add rice to the plates, cover with the veggies/chicken mixture. Add a few tablespoons of sauce drizzled over the plate of veggies, chicken and rice. Serve and Enjoy!
