Easy Pineapple-Yaki Chicken

Ingredients:
2 large Chicken Breasts (cut into 2 in chunks)
3 T MIM Pineapple-Yaki Sauce
1 T MIM Essential Sauce (Gluten Free)
Cooked Rice

Cooking Instructions:

  • Place cut chicken, Pineapple-Yaki & Essential Sauce in bowl.  Cover bowl and let meat marinate in the fridge for 60 min. 
  • Heat a wok or stir-fry pan on medium- high heat.
  • Add in chicken and sauces.  Saute the meat for 5 - 6 minutes or until meat is cooked through.
  • Serve over cooked rice with a side of vegetables.
This is a very simple recipe, but tasted great.  My kids loved it.  This is what Meals in a Minute is all about - gourmet made simple!

*I combine my chicken (or other meat) and sauces in a ziploc bag and put it in the freezer with a label.  The sauces freeze great as a marinade with the meat.  I am able to just pull out a bag in the morning and I'm ready to go.  It works really well and helps make life a little easier.

Beef & Green Bean


Ingredients:
1 1/2 lb Lean Steak (cut into 2 in strips)
2 cups Fresh Green Beans
1/4 cup MIM Essential Sauce (Gluten Free)
1 clove Minced Garlic
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Cornstarch
3 T Butter
1/2 cup Beef Broth
Cooked Rice

Cooking Instructions:

  • Melt butter in wok or large stir-fry pan on medium heat.  
  • Add MIM Essential Sauce and steak.  Do not turn steak while it sears.  Turn meat over after 1 1/2 to 2 min.  Meat will be about half way cooked.
  • Add garlic, onion powder, and green beans, and beef broth.  Cover with a lid and let simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add cornstarch to the liquid in the pan (Slide the vegetables and meat to the side a little, so there is a pool of liquid.  Mix the cornstarch in with the liquid to thicken it into a sauce.)
  • Stir the ingredients to coat the meat and vegetables with the sauce.
  • Let simmer covered for another 60 seconds.
  • Serve over cooked rice.

Coffee Cake {Review}


Coffee Cake [Gluten Free] by Meals in a Minute
Wow!  This was delicious.  I've never tasted a gluten free cake before, but I expected this to be dry and lack flavor....not the case with this Coffee Cake!  This cake was MOIST and full of FLAVOR

This cake is made from one of the prepackaged mixes.  In the center and on top of the cake there is a topping that consists of sliced almonds, chocolate chips, cinnamon, brown sugar. & rice flour.  To the mix you add butter, eggs, and plain yogurt.  I was worried about the cake not rising, but it was not a problem.  I was really pleased all around by this mix.  I served this at a Cooking Demo & Tasting, and the ladies there really enjoyed this Coffee Cake.

This mix can be found here to order.
