Ginger adds a little zing to healthy chicken dish

Tonight I cooked up a Weight Watchers recipe for dinner. It was so good, and very easy. Took all of 13 minutes. My sister has been raving about the success she's had dropping a few pounds lately on Weight Watchers, and the online program looks great, if for no other reason than to try some of the healthy recipes on the Web site. I used the wok for this, and adapted a little to add more onion and garlic than the recipe suggested. Pineapple and fresh ginger add delicate flavor, and brown rice provides a bit of whole grain texture:

Chicken with pineapple in black bean sauce

1 pound skinless chicken breast tenders, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 green onions, chopped (use white and green portions)
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
1/4 cup black bean with garlic sauce
1 20-ounce can pineapple tidbits in 100 percent juice
Canola oil cooking spray

Heat electric non-stick wok to medium high. Coat with one spritz of cooking spray. Cook onions, garlic and ginger in the wok, stirring with a wooden spoon, for three minutes. Add chicken. Cook five minutes, stirring frequently. Add black bean sauce and pineapple with juice. Simmer five more minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve over cooked brown rice.
