- 2 cups water for rice
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, cut into thin wedges
- 1/2 large green bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 1/4 cups hot water for sauce

Instructions
- Pour rice (from Chicken Helper box) into 2-quart saucepan. Add 2 cups water. Heat just to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 20 minutes, without stirring, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

In same skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Carefully add chicken; cook about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deep golden brown on all sides.
- Carefully pour 1 1/4 cups hot water into skillet with chicken; stir in sauce mix (from Chicken Helper box). Return vegetables to skillet. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and chicken is no longer pink in center. Stir in pineapple; heat until hot. Serve over rice.
