1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks |
3 tablespoons white vinegar |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
1/3 cup packed brown sugar (i prefer dark brown) |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1 (12 ounce) package frozen popcorn chicken (any variety works well) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry green pepper and onion in oil for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain pineapple, reserving the juice in a 2-cup measuring cup; set pineapple aside. Add enough water to the juice to measure 1-1/3 cups; stir in the vinegar, soy sauce and ketchup.
2. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple juice mixture until smooth. Gradually add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add pineapple. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.
3. Meanwhile, microwave chicken according to package directions. Stir into pineapple mixture. Serve immediately over rice.
