Notes

You can make this recipe with chicken as well. Make sure that you add a little extra water (about Πcup per 2 pounds of chicken) when you add the broccoli, pineapple and juice to keep the chicken from drying out.

To Make Rice

When outdoors, we do not make rice from scratch. Instead, we use rice that comes in an instant boiling bag. It is easier, less mess, and almost as good.
