Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 2-quart saucepan, heat 3 cups of the broth to boiling over high heat. Add rice; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer about 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed.

    Meanwhile, drain pineapple juice into 2-cup measuring cup; add remaining 1/2 cup broth to make 1 1/4 cups. In another 2-quart saucepan, mix pineapple liquid, sugar, cornstarch, gingerroot, vinegar and soy sauce. Heat to boiling over high heat. Cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in bell peppers and pineapple.
  • 3
    Cut chicken into 2 1/2x1-inch strips. Spread rice in baking dish; arrange chicken strips over rice. Pour pineapple mixture over chicken and rice.
  • 4
    Cover dish with foil. Bake about 45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center and mixture is bubbly.

  • Purchase fresh gingerroot in the produce section of the grocery store. Buy a piece that's large enough to hold in your hand for easy grating. Freeze any leftover root for use in future recipes.
  • One large onion, chopped, can be added with the bell peppers and pineapple chunks.
