Welcome to a post about dinner. Just regular old dinner. Not heavy-holiday-gain-ten-million-pounds-it’s-a-feast dinner…just regular dinner.
Ahhh.
Sometimes that’s nice. But don’t worry your pretty little head. I’ve got lot of holiday type recipes coming up for you all. Holiday goodies, actually… in many shapes and forms. Pretty treats for your work party…Tasty treats to pass on to your neighbors…Happy holiday treats for your family….Yummy treats for you to eat while you wrap presents….Treats for you to enjoy!
It’s going to be a sweet, sweet time. It will be a Parade of Treats, and will begin this Wednesday on December 1st. Hold on to your hats, and your pant size. It’s going to be a fun time.
1 1/4 C pineapple juice (use the pineapple juice from the can, there won't be enough to equal 1 1/4 C. Just add a bit of water to make up the difference.)
3/4 C apple cider vinegar
1 t soy sauce
1/4 t ginger
1 chicken bullion cube
1 C sugar
2 T cornstarch
green onions (optional, but tasty)
Instructions
1. In a dish mix the flour, salt and lemon pepper.
2. Cut your chicken into strips with some kitchen scissors. Dredge the chicken through the flour mixture.
3. Into a large HOT skillet add the olive oil. Place each piece of chicken into the hot pan. Over medium heat cook the chicken until it is golden brown. Turn each piece over and repeat. Lay the golden brown chicken in a 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
4. Pour the juice from the pineapple can into a measuring cup. Add enough water to the juice to equal 1 1/4 C.
5. In a medium sized sauce pan mix the ginger, sugar and cornstarch. Add all other sauce ingredients to this dry mixture and stir.
6. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat. Let it boil for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then pour 2/3 of the sauce over the top of your chicken.
7. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
8. Take the chicken out of the oven and pour the pineapple chunks over the top. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top of the chicken and return it to the oven. Bake for another 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle a bit of green onion over the top if you choose. Serve with rice...white or brown.
I made this for dinner Tuesday night. My family all loved it–especially my 4 year old daughter who kept begging for more. We'll definitely be eating this one again! Thanks for sharing.
This looks really good Jamie. My husband loves pineapple so this is definetly a must try. I have your Beach Street Lemon Chicken on my December Menu. Cant wait for that one. Take care my friend.
LOVED this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing! Grandma now thinks I am a better cook than she is, which is saying something since she has almost 90 years experience! J
This was really, really tasty! The kiddos and hubs loved it! I cooked it in coconut oil as opposed to Olive oil and it worked beautifully! I think next time I make it, I will add in some quick sauteed onions and green peppers before serving to give it a little crunch. Seriously YUM!!!
Your meal plan looks delicious! Lots of soup for the cooler weather, my favorite!
That recipe looks moist and delicious! I love this kind of dish! Thanks!
We made this for dinner tonight and my 3 year old ate 4ths. That's always a good thing. It was yummy. Definitely a keeper.
