Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup lite (or less sodium) soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 cup diced onion (I use frozen diced onion for a shortcut)
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits in juice, NOT drained
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins diced into bite-sized pieces
- 6 slices cooked bacon chopped
- Garnish: sliced green onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl) whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and chicken broth. Add uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper, pineapple (with its juice), and raw chicken.
- Cover dish tightly with foil. Bake for 55 minutes. Uncover and give it all a stir.
- Sprinkle with cooked, chopped bacon.
- Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and sauce has thickened.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving (the sauce will continue to thicken as it sits). Garnish with chopped green onions.
