Freshen up the menu by adding in some mouth watering flavors to this Firecracker chicken dish. Ohhh aaahh!
Chicken dinner sounds so ..blah blah, but if you add all the right ingredients, your family is going to be amazed at what you serve up!
What are the right ingredients? Well, let’s start with garlic, bell peppers and PINEAPPLE!
I know there are a lot of chicken breast fans but I happen to be partial to boneless skinless thighs. They don’t dry out and are super flavorful.
Having a recipe that can easily be re-heated is awesome as well. Face it, not all meals taste as good the following day, but a recipe like this really allows the flavors to mix together. Hello left-overs!
I love being able to put rice in the rice cooker and know that by the time it is ready, dinner will be ready to serve.
This is what Rachael of Eazy Peazy Mealz has to say about one of her favorites mash-up recipes.
One of my favorite things to get at a local restaurant is their firecracker chicken, seconded by sweet and sour. I started thinking about it, and thought how yummy it would be to make a cross over of sweet and sour and firecracker, and so I came up with Pineapple Firecracker Chicken. It has that heat you expect from firecracker chicken, with the sweetness of sweet and sour.

Quick Tip: If you don’t have frozen pineapple chinks you can use canned pineapple in its own juice or even fresh pineapple!
Another time saving idea is to have the chicken already prepped ahead of time. If you are making something like chicken enchiladas, go ahead and buy more meat, cut it up and put 2 pounds in the freezer. Make sure to mark the bag what you are planning to use it for.
