Tropical Pineapple Chicken
 Tropical Pineapple Chicken
 
 
Pineapple, banana and a splash of lime juice flavor this light and fruity chicken dish, but onions, bell pepper and garlic counteract the sweetness for a delightful contrast of tones and textures. This is a wonderful summer dish to eat on the patio!
 
8 oz    wide egg noodles  
3/4 lb    fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thickly sliced  
1   yellow onion, peeled and chopped  
1/2 cup    sliced green onion  
1/2   green bell pepper, seeded and sliced  
2   clove garlic, crushed  
1/2   banana, peeled and sliced  
1/2 cup    low-sodium chicken broth  
1   (8-oz.) can pineapple chunks, undrained  
1 tsp    lime juice  
1/4 tsp    salt  
1/8 tsp    ground black pepper  
 
1 Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and keep warm.
2 Meanwhile, spray a deep, nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook evenly until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
