Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken

Makes 4 Servings

16 oz. of boneless, skinless chicken breast
3 cups white minute rice
2 cup green bell pepper
6 slices canned dole pineapple
½ cup Sweet & Sour Sauce, divided
Salt and Garlic Salt to taste

Defrost chicken, cut it in pieces and coat it in garlic salt/salt, cooking over medium heat. As it cooks, get the rice going in the microwave and cut up the peppers and pineapple. Once the chicken is close to being done (i.e. barely pink) add the peppers, pineapple and half of sauce, and lower heat to simmer for 2-3 more minutes. After simmer, add cooked rice, more salt and remainder of sauce.

Review: A little too high in carbs but not too bad. Either way – I think it’s worth it – yum!! Random that it has no fat, right? Great recipe, and pretty easy with it being jarred!
