SWEET AND SOUR TROPICAL STIR FRY CHICKEN



Sweet and Sour Tropical Stir Fry Chicken image

My mother brought a bunch of grapefruits last weekend, and, honestly, I'm not a big fan of grapefruit unless it's loaded with sugar. I scoured the internet and my cookbooks for ideas of how to incorporate grapefruit into a main dish and came up with this recipe. You can sub your favorite sweet and sour sauce.

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 cup pineapple juice, reserved from pineapple
1/4 cup passion fruit juice (I use Libby's chunk papaya in passion fruit juice and reserve 1/4 cup of the juice)
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple
1 (15 ounce) can mangoes, drained
1 (15 ounce) can papayas
1 grapefruit, sectioned and cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
1 cup broccoli floret
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup water chestnut
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 cups long grain rice or 3 cups couscous
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Prepare the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine jucies, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and black pepper.
  • Cook over medium heat. Add cornstarch; stir until sauce thickens. You may want to use more or less cornstarch to get the desired consistency. Set aside to let sauce cool.
  • Remove all visible fat from chicken breasts, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Once sauce is cool, add chicken, fruit, and green pepper. Place marinade and chicken in plastic storage bag or container; refrigerate at least an hour or overnight.
  • Saute onion in olive oil over moderate heat for about 5 minutes. Add broccoli, water chestnuts and snow peas. Saute an additional 10 minutes.
  • Add chicken and marinade. Cook about 15 minutes over moderate heat until chicken is no longer pink.
  • Serve over 1/2 cup rice or couscous. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

A stir-fry that is a little different, and relatively easy to put together. Found this recipe on the web. Can easily use white or brown rice instead of the jasmine rice!
