Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup lite soy sauce
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 1/4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant white rice
1 cup diced onion (I use frozen diced onion so that there's no prep work)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice, NOT drained
1 lb. thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenderloins, diced into bite-sized pieces
Optional garnish: sliced green onions, diced cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl) whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and chicken broth. Add uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper, pineapple (with its juice), and raw chicken.
  • Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and give it all a stir.
  • Sprinkle with cooked, chopped bacon (if desired).
  • Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and rice is tender.
  • Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions.
