Trader Joe's Thursdays

I know. It's Friday. Oh well! :)


I love this dinner. It's quick and flavorful. Go easy on the curry sticks and it's low-cal/low-fat too! And my kids really love it. :)

Cinnamon Chicken
chx. breasts, cut into strips
olive oil
cinnamon
apricot preserves
white wine or apple juice
~Sautee the chicken in a little bit olive oil. Sprinkle cinnamon liberally all over the chicken. Yep, cinnamon. Just do it! Keep turning the chicken so it doesn't burn and drizzle in a little oil if you need it. Once the chicken is cooked through, spoon some preserves into the pan and pour in a little wine (or juice) to make a sauce. Cook till bubbly.
Serve immediately with the following from Trader Joe's:
Biyrini rice mix-It's a frozen curry rice mix w/ raisins and apples and veggies. Just throw it in a sauepan and heat.
Coconut curry chicken sticks w/sweet chili sauce for dipping. Just bake these while you cook the chicken.
Garlic green beans. Remember these? Get frozen green beans, thaw. Sautee in a bit of butter and 2 crushed garlic cloves.
