Ingredients
    2 1/2 pounds frying chicken pieces (I substitute four boneless skinless chicken breasts usually)
    1/2 Cup seasoned all-purpose flour*
    1/4 Cup butter or margarine
    1 large can pineapple chunks in syrup
    2 Tbsp. brown sugar
    1 Tbsp. vinegar
    1 1/4 Cups water
    1/2 Tbsp. salt
    1 1/2 Cups instant rice
Preparation
    Coat chicken with seasoned flour.
    Brown chicken well in hot butter in large skillet.
    Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup syrup. Combine reserved syrup, brown sugar and vinegar in small bowl; pour over chicken.
    Turn chicken, skin side down if using frying pieces. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Move chicken to side of skillet. Add the pineapple, water and salt. Bring to a full boil.
    Stir in rice.
    Cover; remove from heat.
    Let stand 5 minutes.
    Fluff with fork.
    Makes 4 servings.* Flour may be seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon each pepper and ground nutmeg, or 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
