Caribbean Chicken Fried Rice Recipes

CARIBBEAN CHICKEN FRIED RICE

Steps:

• In 2-quart saucepan, place uncooked rice and seasoning mix (from Asian Helper box); stir in broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook 15 to 18 minutes, stirring once, until rice is tender.
• Meanwhile, reserve tops of 2 of the green onions; slice remaining onions. In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix flour, allspice and garlic powder. Add chicken to bag; seal and shake to coat chicken with spices. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook chicken and sliced onions in oil 3 to 4 minutes, turning chicken once, until no longer pink in center. Add pineapple and cooked rice to skillet with chicken. Cook and stir 1 minute or until pineapple is hot.
• Slice reserved green onion tops diagonally into 1-inch pieces; sprinkle over chicken mixture.

CARIBBEAN-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir together the marinade and toss to coat with the chicken pieces in an ovenproof baking dish.
• Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours but up to 12 hours. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor.
• Once marinade time is completed, transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl and soak in the milk for 15-20 minutes. Transfer back to the baking dish. Discard the milk.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large saute pan heat up a little bit of oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shake off the excess flour, and add to the heated pan. Do not crowd the pan.
• Fry the chicken pieces until light brown but not cooked all the way through.
• With slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces back to the baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
