Pineapple Sweet 'n Sour Chicken

We got this recipe out of the coupon section of the Sunday paper. It's a Dole recipe, and it was quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks
1 medium green or red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
2 TBS vegetable oil
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup prepared sweet and sour sauce
2 TBS soy sauce
Hot cooked rice


Directions:

Drain pineapple, reserve 2 TBS juice. Cook pepper, onion and mushrooms in hot oil, over medium heat, until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
Cook chicken until browned. Add vegetables and combine with sauces, pineapple, and reserved juice. Heat through.
Serve over rice.

The Verdict:

We like this dish, but it wasn't terribly original. And the pineapple was WAY too much! Half a can is plenty. But it had good flavor, and we'll probably prepare it again.
