Chinese Pineapple Chicken with Black Bean Sauce

Chinese Pineapple Chicken with Black Bean Sauce (9 points)

This used to be a lower point recipe, but with the new points plan, it has gone up considerably. Despite the amount of points, it is really delicious (aren't all fattening foods?) Give it a shot on a day when you have enough points saved up. Also keep in mind that this is a full meal, WITH a side dish, so it is not as bad as it seems.

Ingredients:
1 spray(s) cooking spray
4 medium scallion(s), chopped (green and white parts)
1 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, chopped (I never use fresh, I use jarred)
2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced (I use jarred)
1 pound(s) Chicken, breast, raw, without skin & bone, cut into 1-inch cubes
20 oz canned pineapple, packed in its own juice, use tidbits
1/4 cup(s) black bean sauce (Simply Organic makes a GF mix for this)
2 cup(s) cooked brown rice, kept warm (regular or instant)

Directions:
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set pan over medium-high heat. Add scallions, ginger and garlic; cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned on all sides, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add pineapple (with its juice) and black bean sauce to skillet; bring to a simmer. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Divide rice among 4 shallow bowls and spoon chicken mixture over top.

Makes about 6 servings.
