CHICKEN AND BANANA FRIED RICE and BANANA BREAD COBBLER

We like to have bananas on hand for a quick and healthy snack, but often they ripen quicker than we can eat them, so we make a lot of banana bread, muffins and cake. Although we do love bananas baked into a delicious treat, it was fun to change it up with this Chicken Fried Rice and Banana Bread Cobbler.

CHICKEN AND BANANA FRIED RICE


In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Halve 2 bananas lengthwise and add to the pan cut side down. Cook until deep golden, 6 to 8 minutes, transfer to a cutting board and cut into bite sized pieces, once cool enough to handle.
Heat another  tablespoon of vegetable oil. Season 3/4 pound of chicken tenders, cut into cubes, season with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add 1/2 cup sliced scallions, and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 finely chopped serrano chiles (I unfortunately omitted these because of the kids), and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in 2 cups of cooked rice, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally , until the rice begins to toast, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the banana and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Sprinkle with chopped, salted peanuts.
Enjoy! please share recipedoodle with your friends and family!
