I am starting a 4 day smoothie cleanse as of tomorrow so this weekend I wanted to treat myself to some good comfort food. While shopping at Winco I found all these items. I love orange chicken veggies together. I don't remember ever eating chicken potstickers, but walking by them I couldn't help but take notice and want to make something different. Its been a rainy weekend here in Las Vegas so I truly wanted to enjoy some warm comfort food to go along with my very creative and artistic weekend of relaxing.
Items Used: Ling Ling Chicken and vegetable potstickers, Crazy Cuisine orange chicken, Uncle Bens long grain wild rice, frozen mixed veggies, pineapple, 100% organic cane sugar, and brown sugar. Of course I could not forget one of my favorite parts...the big bag of fortune cookies. (I really wish that I remembered to buy some green tea ice cream and chocolate Mochi.)
For The orange chicken and pineapple I preheated my oven to 400 degrees.
I sprinkled the 100% organic cane sugar and brown sugar on top of the cubed pineapple. I placed the orange and pineapple on baking sheets lined with tin foil. (Easy cleanup.) With the pineapple I baked it for 15 minutes and the orange chicken was baked for 18 minutes.
For the potstickers I added 1 tablespoon to a skillet, turned it on medium high heat and added the potstickers flat-side down in a single layer. I added 1 cup of water, brought to a boil then covered and let simmer for 8 minutes. After the 8 minutes was up I uncovered the skillet and let them finish cooking until all the water had evaporated and the potstickers are slightly browned.
The Uncle Ben's ready rice only took 1 minute and 30 seconds to make. It was easy, I just cut a little slit at the top of the bag and put it in the microwave. I put water in a large pot and turned on the heat to medium-high. Once the water came to a boil I placed my frozen mixed veggies in and let that cook for about 5 minutes. I strained the veggies and placed on my plate. At the time everything else was ready to take out and off the stove. I put the orange chicken in a bowl and poured the sauce over top and mixed together. I plated everything and I was excited for my Asian inspired night for dinner.
Everything plated so beautifully together and tasted even better. I highly recommend baking your pineapple. It was amazing. I would have grilled my pineapple and placed it over the chicken, but that will come in a summer time inspired recipe! Try out this recipe and let me know if you like it! Hope you enjoy!
