My kids love this fast fix for chicken nuggets. There is an unusual ingredient, but it works perfectly. I wondered about the addition of pancake syrup also, but it makes such a nice sweet and sour sauce. This meal is very much a kid pleaser! Ingredients:
1 box frozen breaded chicken nuggets (about 20 per package) |
1 green pepper (chopped) |
1 onion (cut into wedges) |
2 teaspoons vegetable oil |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth |
1/2 cup pancake syrup (yes, use pancake syrup, no substitutions) |
1/4 cup cider vinegar |
2 -3 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, reserve juice |
3 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
2 cups hot cooked rice |
Directions:
1. Cook chicken nuggets for only half of required baking time and set aside.
2. Saute onion and green pepper in vegetable oil until crips tender.
3. Add pineapple chunks, reserving juice.
4. Heat on low.
5. Add cornstarch to reserved pineapple juice and stir until dissolved.
6. Add chicken broth, pancake syrup, vinegar, garlic powder, and soy sauce to vegetable mixture.
7. Bring to a boil and add cornstarch mixture.
8. Continue to boil until mixture begins to thicken 2-3 minutes.
9. Reduce heat.
10. Add chicken and stir to coat them in sauce.
11. Cook until heated through 5-10 minutes.
12. Serve over rice.
