ok, so it's been a while. (looks around guiltily) Let's jump back in, shall we?
Last night, I roasted up two whole chickens. They came two to a package, and were on sale, so why not. I did them up Jamie Oliver style, mashing up lemon rind, rosemary and thyme in butter, and then shoving that under the skin and followed up with lemon wedges inside the birds. Then roasted both birds, eating one last night. I removed the meat from the second bird, and set it aside for another meal and threw the carcasses into my big pot for soup.
So, fast forward to tonight. I decided to make Pineapple chicken with most of the leftover chicken meat.
First, I chopped up the meat, and then marinated it in:
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
While that sat, I chopped up two red peppers and about 2 dozen baby carrots. Then I threw about a tbsp of olive oil in my skillet, and tossed in the chicken. After tossing the chicken around to get coated in oil, I sprinkled a tbsp of flour on top and tossed again to coat.
After that, I added the peppers and carrots.
a 14oz can of pineapple tidbits and juice
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp bbq sauce
2 tsp lemon juice
and some salt and pepper
Cook it up for about 10-12 minutes, and serve with rice. The carrots were still crunchy (the way I like them) and it was really tasty.
