Ingredients

1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks, undrained
1-1/3 cups orange marmalade
1 cup picante sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder, divided
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 large green pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
Hot cooked rice
Minced fresh cilantro

Directions

In a bowl, combine the pineapple, marmalade, picante sauce and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder; set aside. Sprinkle remaining chili powder over chicken.
In a large skillet, saute the chicken, green pepper and onion in oil until chicken juices run clear. Reduce heat; add the pineapple mixture. Cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Serve with rice; garnish with cilantro.

Test Kitchen tips

The sauce is on the thin side, perfect for adding flavor to the rice.

If you'd like to use leftover cooked chicken, first saute the green pepper and onion. Add the chicken and sauce, and heat through.
