A fragrant combination of tea, pineapple juice and spices comes together in a delicious sauce for this chicken and vegetable stir-fry. Serve over jasmine rice with wilted spinach.

Ingredients

Serves:

1/2 cup rice wine or medium-dry sherry

1/4 cup strong-brewed black tea

1/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice or orange juice

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed (about 1-1/4 pounds)

1 tablespoon peanut or canola oil, divided

1 small red bell pepper, diced

2 scallions, sliced

1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

1. Combine rice wine (or sherry), tea, juice, soy sauce and honey in a 2-cup glass measure; set aside.

2. Combine cinnamon, ginger, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture evenly on both sides of chicken breasts.

3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, reduce heat to medium and cook until golden outside and no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

4. Add the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil to the pan. Add bell pepper, scallions and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds. Add the reserved rice wine-tea mixture. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes.

5. Reduce heat to low and return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pan. Simmer gently, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until heated through, about 1 minute.

6. Slice the chicken into thin diagonal slices and fan on plates. Spoon the sauce and vegetables over. Serve immediately.

This was great, had large breast so had to double the rub but still that was an easy fix.

I would never have thought to mix the flavors of cinnamon pineapple juice and sherry, but OMG!!! This was absolutely delicious!!! My husband was just diagnosed with diabetes, and if we can continue to find meals like this, then it won't be so bad!!
