And you'll never guess where I found the recipe! In the coupon section of the Sunday paper! I rarely flip through the coupon books because I rarely find a coupon to use. I find that the majority of the coupons are for processed foods and I try to stick with whole foods. And there are certainly times where I see coupons for products we buy but since I'm not a frequent coupon-er I have no system in place to store the coupons so, unfortunately, coupons are just a hassle for me. But every now and then I like to browse the coupon books to see if anything has changed and I'm ready to adopt some coupon-ing. Well on this particular flip through the coupon book there was a "Wok Your World" page with the following recipe and coupons for the canned pineapple and the soy sauce.
Honey Cashew Chicken
Ingredients
1 - 20 oz can pineapple chunks > we used fresh pineapple
2 cups brown rice, uncooked
2 chicken breasts, cut into 1" cubes > we used chicken thighs (had on hand in the freezer)
2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 c honey
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1-2 tsp sriracha
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 c frozen edamame or peas
1/2 c dry roasted cashew pieces, chopped > we used peanuts
Directions
Drain pineapple chunks; reserve juice. Combine juice with water to equal 1-3/4 cups. Prepare rice according to package directions, using juice mixture. [Since we used fresh pineapple we prepared the rice with chicken stock.] Combine chicken, cornstarch, salt and pepper in bowl; toss to coat.
Whisk together honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and sriracha in small bowl; set aside.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture and cook for 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Increase heat to high, add garlic, red pepper, pineapple chunks and edamame. Cook for 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender and chicken is done, stirring frequently; stir in cashews.
Add honey sauce mixture to chicken mixture; toss to coat until heated through. Serve over rice.
Looks good. My coupon tip is remember to use it if you clip it! I only clip something if it is something I use but so many times I forget to give it the cashier. Love the pic.
