Friday :/!!! (Polynesian Chicken)

What a day at work..  it's funny how one guest can change the course of your day.. It was going really well,  was in Hardlines 2 by myself,  but not a big deal,  got Cosmetics zoned and cleaned and was running a cart of assorted strays and ended up helping the nicest old man and the bitterest old woman ever..  after I finished answering all her ridiculous questions,  one being why we didn't have any more red lids to go with the red plastic storage totes and that she didn't want green because that was just to Christmassy..  I overheard her say loudly to her husband,  we will go to my store.. Wal-Mart.. I felt like saying.. yes,  please go to Wal-Mart and keep going there,  we don't want your kind of business..  Finally home,  sitting in my kitchen,  have I mentioned I love my kitchen,  only thing I would change.. I need an island in the center.. lots of open/wasted space..  one day I will get one.. maybe after the new year I can find a freestanding one for now.. eventually I want to redo the kitchen, update it and put in a gas stove and a huge island..  :) So for dinner tonight it is Polynesian Chicken,  still trying to remember the recipe exactly,  but still can't.. but I think this is a closer version than the last one..














Polynesian Chicken

olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 red and yellow bell pepper, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz mushrooms, sliced
2 large chicken breast, cubed
1 jar apricot preserves
1 can crushed pineapple, with the juice
soy sauce
hot cooked rice

In a large pan heat the oil,  add the onion and peppers and cook a couple minutes,  add the mushrooms and garlic and cook another minute.. add the chicken and cook until done.. in a bowl combine the preserves. pineapple and soy sauce,  set aside.. when chicken is done, pour the pineapple mixture over and let simmer for 15 minutes..  add the rice and mix together..
