hello everyone today we are going to try
0:03
our hand at making a tropical pineapple
0:06
and Chicken Delight we're going to serve
0:09
it over rice this is a very easy and
0:12
fast put together dinner idea great for
0:16
your week night meal all right first
0:18
thing I want to do is get the rice going
0:20
cuz that will be done when this is done
0:23
that's how fast it is so come on over
0:26
here I'm going to show you how we're
0:27
going to put that Rice together I'm
0:29
using a me medium sauce pan make sure
0:31
you have the lid for
0:33
it I'm going to add in one cup of
0:36
chicken
0:40
broth one cup of
0:43
water and what you want to do is bring
0:46
that to a boil over high
0:49
heat now I'm going to add a pad of
0:52
butter to
0:56
it once your liquid comes to a boil
0:59
you're going to add your rice now it's
1:01
always two cups liquid to one cup of
1:03
rice so if you don't want the chicken
1:05
broth you can just do two cups of
1:08
regular water and then just give it a
1:10
little seasoning or you can do two cups
1:13
of chicken broth to the one cups of rice
1:15
we're going to place the lid on we're
1:17
going to turn the burner down to a low
1:21
and then we're going to cook this for 20
1:23
minutes I'm using 1 and 1 12 lbs of a
1:27
boneless skinless chicken breast and it
1:30
came in a package of like three and then
1:32
you can kind of cut off any of the
1:33
little pieces that you don't want on
1:35
there but these look really
1:38
good so what I'm going to do is slice
1:41
them in half
1:43
lengthwise just get a nice sharp
1:45
knife place your hand on top of the
1:47
chicken now I'm putting some gloves on
1:50
and then I'm going to run my knife
1:57
through and that'll give us
2:00
two pieces of chicken
2:04
here there we
2:08
go so we're going to take each thinned
2:11
out chicken and we're just going to cut
2:13
it into
2:22
strips we'll just turn it around we're
2:25
just going to cut it into bite-sized
2:27
pieces this will make the pieces is nice
2:30
and even which means it'll cook nice and
2:44
even now what we're going to do is
2:47
season our chicken you always got to
2:49
flavor every layer even like we did the
2:53
rice everything needs to taste good
2:55
there we
2:57
go I'm going to have my husband crack
3:00
some salt and pepper on this so I can
3:03
mix it all up with my
3:11
hands all right I'm just going to take
3:13
my gloves here and just mix all this up
3:16
so it's all seasoned on all sides all
3:19
right then I'm going to get rid of my
3:20
gloves and let's start heating up our
3:23
pan I'm going to place a large deep
3:25
Skillet over medium high
3:28
heat going to add a little bit of oil
3:31
about a tablespoon of any kind of
3:32
cooking oil that you
3:34
use we like the avocado oil we're going
3:38
to start heating that
3:43
up there's that
3:47
Sizzle all right I'm try to get this
3:49
down to one that layer as much as I
3:52
can now we're going to cook this until
3:55
it's browned on all sides and fully
3:57
cooked on the inside of the chicken and
3:59
while that's happening let's start
4:01
getting our vegetables ready I've got a
4:04
green bell pepper that I washed off just
4:06
going to cut down the sides of it we
4:09
want these chunky big
4:14
chunks cut around the sides of it there
4:17
get all those pieces
4:20
off about 1 in
4:23
pieces on all the
4:26
vegetables make sure you tuck in your
4:28
fingers
4:32

pepper that looks good right
4:43

4:47
onions and I'm just going to take the
4:48
ends off of them and we'll just chop
4:51
those up get that outer layer off I'm
4:54
using two of these because they are so
4:56
small if you have a medium size you can
4:59

5:01
those so just cut it in half lay it
5:09
down about the size of the peppers
