Pre tryout dinner

Pre-tryout dinner-Sweet & Sour Chicken and cucumber wakame salad!!!

Yes it's the quicky paleo version!


QUICKY SWEET & SOUR PALEO CHICKEN
Juice from one pineapple (or can of pineapples from TJs)
2 T local honey or to taste
2 T white vinegar or to taste (this was hard since I was hesitant to use my cleaning supply in my recipe)
Reduce until its syrupy.


Saute free-range grass-fed chicken, some red onions and about 1/2 can of pineapple chunks. Cover with sauce. Thinly sliced carrots would be nice in this too but I didn't have any carrots. Just a touch of tomato paste or ketscup will also add a different complexity.





CUCUMBER WAKAME SALAD
Peel & thiny slice cucumber
Rehydrate wakame (seaweed)
Squeeze as much water out of the wakame.
Combine with cucumbers.
Season with seasoned rice vinegar from TJs. This is a bit of a cheat since there's brown sugar in it, You can take rice wine vinegar, add some dashi and something sweet like agave. If you have carrots for the chicken, add some to this too.

And here's one of the cleanup crew.
