Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry combines savory chicken and veggies with sweet pineapple. It is a quick and healthful dish, great for any night of the week!
I love making dishes like this Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry!
The stir fry dishes I make usually combine meat with tons of veggies.
Then I add a delicious sauce and serve it over rice, chow mien or rice noodles, or even Ramen noodles.
Sunday Supper this week is all about easy dinner recipes and this recipe is pretty easy and really quick.
If I can get dinner on the table in around 30 minutes then I am a happy camper.
My 15 year-old daughter wanted me to serve this over Ramen noodles, so that is what I did.
We usually serve Pineapple Chicken Stir Fry over rice, but I thought why not?
It was pretty good over Ramen noodles.
I can’t remember where I got this recipe.
It is on a piece of paper in a three ring binder that I keep a bunch of recipes in.
When I printed it out (probably 5 or 6 years ago), I only printed the first page and there is nothing on it that gives me any clues as to where it came from.
Google was no help.
For some reason I used to think I needed to print out every recipe.
Apparently I was old school, and liked to see it on paper.
Now when I find a recipe I just bookmark it and go back to that particular blog when I am making my grocery list, or when I am making the dish.
It is important to chop all of the veggies and prepare the sauce ahead of time.
This cooks very quickly, so once you start cooking it only takes about 12 minutes.
Another great tip is to start the pan of water for your rice or noodles first thing.
When I make rice I use the boil-in-bag kind and it takes 10 minutes.
I need to start it just 2 minutes after I start the stir fry, so it is important that the water is boiling and ready.
When I made the Ramen noodles they only take 3 minutes to cook, so I brought the pan of water to a boil and then turned it off until I was about half way done cooking the stir fry.
Then I turned it back on and it came back up to a boil and I was able to drop the Ramen noodles when I had about 3 minutes left on the stir fry.
