Pineapple Chicken – Take 2

March 3, 2008 Food No comments , ,

Learning from previous experiments I tried this again while it was still fresh in my mind.  Mixing the sauce beforehand and doing it as a sauce rather than separate ingredients lead to flavor that stuck to the chicken which was very good.  The pineapple and peppers where there, and I didn’t put any pearl onions on top, though I did add a good amount of water chestnuts on top.

As I said, the flavor stuck and the meat was prepared well.  I’ve got to get a oven top grill to work that some time.  All in all, it was good.

On portion sizes, I’d have to go and look at sizes agin.  Something to pay attention to in the future.  I’ll probably go get more groceries tomorrow (I’m down to one salmon fillet).

I have two bags of chicken fingers in the freezer.  Now one… Safeway had some chicken fingers that where reasonably small that I could split it up into two freezer bags that were about one portion each.  From what I’ve had, thats about right.

Some past dinners

pastsalmon2I missed adding two dinners I’ve had between then and now.  One of them was a ginger sesame salmon.  It worked well, though I still need to cook it longer to get it to the feel I enjoy for meat.  I added more ginger this time, and it did help.

Hawaiian Steak

pineapplesteakI pointed out this recipe the other day and with a three day weekend I’ve decided to cook it.  It is one that takes some time with the stove.  The four hour marinade is not something that is easy to do on a work day.  I could cook up the marinade in the morning (waking up two hours earlier) and then marinate all day – but that waking up thing is a problem.
