Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry

One of the foods we love in our house is Chinese. Many Chinese places, especially buffets include MSG, well, that's a no-no in this migrainer's diet.

Cory loves sweet & sour, I'm not a huge fan, so I took the pineapple and chicken he loves so much & adapted it, in 20 minutes.

Chinese Pineapple Chicken w/veggies


It was delicious, and my husband approved. (however, it is still our first year of marriage, maybe he wouldn't tell me if it was awful!) We have a rice cooker, and I don't like the taste of minute rice, you could probably chop some time off this if you are okay with minute rice. The chicken was sliced and frozen in strips the day I did my freezer meals :)
