The meat, fruits, and vegetables were previously prepped and frozen. If you are wondering about my reason for freezing pineapple, I will explain. I made two pineapple upside down cakes earlier this year. I did not use all of the pineapple or juice so I froze the remaining portions. I used part to make the Pineapple Paradise but I still had a package remaining and it was time to get it out of the freezer. By freezing ingredients in this manner, it allows me to have the food prepared and cuts down of the actual time of preparing the meal. I like that, too!
The rice took a little less time to cook than the meat, but all in all, it went fast and we were eating in about 40 minutes. Which was good because this is delicious and I was very hungry.
Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts, each filleted into 3 pieces
2 cups of Peach Slices
1 cup of Pineapple Chunks
2 cups of Pineapple Juice
1 cup of Red and Green Bell Pepper Slices
1 cup of Onion, cut in half and sliced in half circles
1/4 cup of Dry Rose' Wine
2 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon of Fresh Ginger, peeled and grated
1/3 cup of Flour for dredging and thickening sauce
1 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon of Pepper
1/2 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
Sepay Groves Olive Oil
4 cups of Cooked Rice
Directions
1. Using enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan, heat oil over low-medium heat. While oil is
heating, Season chicken breast fillets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder; then lightly sprinkle flour with
additional salt and pepper. Give the flour a mix and then dredge the chicken fillets in the flour. Brown
chicken in batches and remove to rest.
2. If needed, add additional olive oil and reheat. Add bell pepper and onion slices to heated oil. BE
CAREFUL, the moisture from the vegetables may cause splattering. Cook until vegetables are
brightened. Remove and set aside. Add the rest of the flour, and let it start to brown. Stir constantly.
I use a metal spatula to keep the flour from burning. Once the flour starts to brown, add wine and
pineapple juice. Whisk to make sure that all lumps of flour are broken down. Add peaches, pineapple
chunks, soy sauce,and fresh ginger. Allow to thicken until the opaque appearance of the sauce changes
to translucent. Once this happens, return chicken to the sauce, sliding the chicken underneath to allow it
absorb the flavor of the sauce. Place the pepper and onion slices on top. Reduce heat to lowest setting.
Cook until sauce is thickened. Stirring often.
3. Remove from heat and serve with cooked rice.
Enjoy!
