Chicken, Peppers & Pineapple over Rice image

My original recipe with some of these ingredients was for a sandwich; this time I wanted to make it the main dish so served it over rice. Hubby isn't a rice person but he did eat this...it was supper, so take it or not! It's really quick and easy, hope you will give it a shot & that it becomes one of your go-to meals!

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 stick butter
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 sweet red pepper, diced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced
3 Tbsp diced celery
1 small shallot, minced
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp mrs. dash original seasoning
1/2 can(s) chunk pineapple (20 oz. can), reserve juice
3 Tbsp pineapple liquid (from can)
1 can(s) chunk white meat chicken, 12.5 oz., drained
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
2 c long grain rice, cooked

Steps:

  • 1. In large skillet, melt butter. Add in minced shallot and diced peppers; cook over medium heat until peppers are starting to get a little soft.
  • 2. Add in the brown sugar and pineapple juice, stirring to dissolve and vegetables are a little glazed. Stir occasionally.
  • 3. Add pineapple chunks and drained chicken. Turn heat up on high, and use a spatula to stir gently so you don't break chicken up too much. The mixture will thicken slightly; when it does, it's ready.
  • 4. Spoon over hot cooked rice on plate and serve. Enjoy!
