PINEAPPLE PEPPER CHICKEN
A roommate made this up a few years ago. Hers was a drier style, I liked a sauce and water chestnuts. It's a pretty simple recipe, I actually have never needed to have a recipe to make it. The quantities of ingredients are truly flexible to taste and servings needed. I do salt the meat and veggies as I'm cooking, so if you are not a "salt freak" like me, remember that you will be adding soy sauce near the end. This would probably be good with asian noodles too. If your chicken breasts are small, use more to feed your crowd, it won't change the flavor of the dish a bit. Like I said really flexible:)
