Oil
Cook rice your usual way (boil, rice cooker etc)
Dice the chicken
per lb of chicken add 1-2 Tbsp oil, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, and 1/2 Tbsp garlic to pan (frankly I eyeball it and tend to use more garlic)
When sugar melts add the chicken - when chiicken is white on outside add salt to taste
Cook until sauced is carmelized, medium brown and fairly thick.
Add rice to pan.
It tastes a lot like chinese chicken and broccoli and therefore if you want a 6th ingredient mix in some steamed broccoli.
You can also use pork instead of chicken.
It is really quick to make and my son loves to help stiring.
YUM
Anonymous wrote:Penne with Sundried Tomato Pesto
12 ounces penne pasta
1 (8.5-ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil (Trader Joe's has a good one)
2 garlic cloves
1 cup (packed) fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
(it's not in the original recipe, but I also add pre-grilled chicken from the deli case)
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, blend the sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and basil in a food processor and blend until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Transfer the tomato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the Parmesan.
Add the pasta to the pesto and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta, to taste, with salt and pepper and serve.
