Yield 4 Servings
Ingredients
8 chicken tenders
1 red bell pepper
1 orange bell pepper
8 broccoli florets
1/2 red onion
1 8oz can pineapple chunks
1 13 oz can coconut milk
1T brown sugar
1t curry powder
2t ground chili paste
1t salt
1T corn starch
Instructions
Season your chicken tenders with Lemon Pepper and saute in a bit of oil until just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. While the chicken is cooking cut your peppers and onion in 1/4" strips. You may need to add a bit more oil to the pan, then add the peppers, onion and broccoli. Saute for about 5 minutes. You don't want to over cook your veggies, you want them to still have a bit of crunch to them and they will cook some more while you finish this up. After 5 minutes add the can of pineapple (juice and all) to the skillet. In a measuring cup add 1T corn starch to the coconut milk and stir well then add to the pan along with the brown sugar, salt and chili paste. Return the chicken to the pan and heat through while the sauce thickens up. Serve over rice.
Notes
I cooked my rice in chicken broth and and added 1/4 cup of bakers coconut to it while it was cooking. This gave it great flavor and a nice added crunch. I used brown rice and it takes about an hour to cook, but for a busy week night you could always use Minute Rice.
