Healthy Dish of the Week (7-23-12): Pineapple Chicken and Rice

Pineapple Chicken and Rice

This recipe is great for a pregame or post-game/post-workout meal because it is high in carbohydrates and protein.

 INGREDIENTS:

1 cup white rice

2 cans of pineapple in 100% juice (1 cup total)

2 cups of raw broccoli

1 pre-cooked 8oz chicken breast (cut into strips or chunks)

 

DIRECTIONS:

Put the cup of rice in a sauce pan with water and boil until tender. Next place the pineapple (with the juice), the broccoli and the chicken (strips or chunks) into a large skillet. Turn the heat on low; steam from the pineapple will cook the broccoli and the juice will be soaked up by the chicken. Once the broccoli is tender, serve the bed of rice.
