Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 can (8 ounces) sliced water chestnuts, drained
  • 1 medium tart apple, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple tidbits plus 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 cup cold water, divided
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3 cups hot cooked brown rice

Directions

  1. In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, herbs and lemon zest; saute until lightly browned. Add next 4 ingredients. Stir in pineapple tidbits, pineapple juice, 3/4 cup water and teriyaki sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until chicken is no longer pink and the carrots are tender, 10-15 minutes.
  2. Combine cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup water; gradually stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve with rice.
