Caribbean Dump Chicken

1/2 large can of pineapple chunks

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 cup orange juice

3 chicken leg quarters

Dump everything in a large one gallon freezer food storage bag and lay flat to freeze. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Pour everything in a 13x9 casserole dish and bake at 350-375 degrees F for an hour. Adjust the cooking time if you are using boneless chicken, 30-40 minutes.

Serve with Organic Brown Basmati Rice: prepare on stovetop or in rice-cooker. RINSE RICE FIRST. 1 Cup rice to 2 1/2 C. water.

Freezing Tips

Use specially designed freezer bags, airtight containers, and aluminum foil to maintain the quality of the food.

Leave as little air as possible in the packages and containers. When freezing liquids in containers, allow a small amount of head room for expansion. When using freezer bags, be sure to remove as much air as possible before closing. Solids such as meats and baked goods should be wrapped tightly in foil before you bag them.

To avoid mushy, blown-out pasta, undercook it, boiling it for just 3 minutes: it will finish cooking in the oven.

To cool pasta quickly yet retain its starches (which helps stabilize the sauce), spread it on a baking sheet instead of rinsing.

The freezer can dry out any dish. To keep macaroni and cheese creamy, compensate by making a soupy sauce.
