Hawaiian-Roni
Makes 4 servings



Ingredients:

1 lb boneless chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces (used 6oz pre cooked Tyson diced chicken breast)
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
1 (6.2-ounce) package Rice-A-Roni Fried Rice
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tbsp margarine or butter (I used soy butter and only used 1 tbsp also)
1 (8-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained, reserving 1/4 cup juice
1 cup sliced carrots (I used 1/4 cup shredded)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted (I left these out because I did not want the extra calories and the rice mix already had a few in it )

Directions:

In small bowl, combine chicken and teriyaki sauce; set aside. In large skillet over medium heat, sauté rice-vermicelli mix and onion with margarine until vermicelli is golden brown.

Slowly stir in 1 cup water, reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, carrots, chicken mixture and Special Seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken is no longer pink inside. (I cooked for 15 since my chicken was pre cooked)

Stir in pineapple chunks. Cover; let stand 5 minutes before serving.


Calories per Serving: 277 (as I made it above)
