Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken

- allrecipes.com

Fantastic teriyaki dish. Could be done without chicken as well.

- 2 tbs. cooking oil
- 1 lb. chicken breasts, cut into cubes (2 breasts should be plenty)
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced thin
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced thin (didn't have any- still good)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin

- 1 1/4 cups sliced mushrooms
(didn't use these- still good)
- 1 onion, chopped (used a red onion, for aesthetic purposes)
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 (8 oz) can pineapple chunks, undrained

- 1 tsp crushed red pepper (didn't have any- still good)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup flour (I substituted cornstarch instead)

Cook chicken chunks in oil in a wok (or large pot- whatever you use to make stir fry) until chicken is cooked through.
Add to wok all other ingredients (EXCEPT for flour) at medium heat. When it starts to simmer, add flour (or cornstarch) and continue to stir and simmer until it thickens up to your desired consistency.
Serve over rice. Eat it all up and wish you had made more. It's so dang good.

I actually halfed this recipe, and it still fed us four portions... next time I'll make more. :)
(Too busy eating this to take a photo of my own creation- this one is from the recipe I pulled at allrecipes.com. It looks better in real life... man, it's good.)

HUBBY SCORE: * * * * 1/2
(wow. Only pie gets a full 5 stars around here... I gave it 5 stars myself...)
