Pineapple, coconut and almonds dress up this pleasantly sweet treatment for cooked chicken. "It's a great way to serve leftover chicken," says Nyla Christensen of Rapid City, South Dakota. "Sometimes, I use turkey instead."
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups cubed cooked chicken
- 1 medium green pepper, julienned
- 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted, divided
- 1 teaspoon rum extract
Directions
- Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set the pineapple aside. In a large skillet, combine the cornstarch, sugar, broth, lemon juice, salt and reserved juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in the chicken, green pepper, coconut, pineapple, 1/4 cup almonds and extract. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until chicken is heated through. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.
