I started to make pineapple chicken the other day and ended up with something very different. This dish has a good orange sweet flavor with a hint of pineapple and fills the house with a nice orange smell while cooking. I used crushed pineapple, but I think the tidbits below would be better. Cooking time does not include the cooking of the rice Ingredients:
1 cup any white rice, uncooked |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, fine chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger (optional) |
1 1/2 lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes |
1 large seedless orange, peeled and cut up into 1/2 inch cubes |
1 orange, zest of (if you would like more of a pineapple taste, skip this) |
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice |
1/2 cup marcella wine or 1/2 cup other sweet white wine or 1/2 cup water or 1/2 cup pineapple juice |
1 tablespoon lime juice |

1. Pre-Cook the rice, any method you like.
2. Preheat oven to 350 deg.
3. In a 3 Qt Dutch oven or other oven safe pan with cover.
4. Heat the olive oil add the garlic and ginger Sauté until garlic just starts to turn brown.
5. Add Chicken and Sauté until partially cooked.
6. Add Pineapple/w juice, Orange and zest, mix.
7. Add cooked Rice and mix well again.
8. Add wine and lime, mix.
