I *love* chicken with fruit/natural sweet flavours. What's your favourite fruit to cook with chicken?

    lime or lemon depending on my mood.
    orange is great if I want something sweet.
    raspberry or pomegranite. Really, almost any fruit, I love chicken with most flavors... although, I don't think I would like it with banana or melon.

    I love grilled carambola (star fruit). I live in South Florida so they are easy to come by. Plain they are a bit tart, but slice them put them on the grill and they are wonderful with chicken, fish or even by themselves.

    If you have access to green bananas, you can boil them in the skin until they split open (about 30 min) then use them like you would potatoes...any way you would use potato you can use boiled green bananas...mashed, salad, chunked in stews.

    Orange is good!

    I like to mix pears in with it if it's cold.

    I love to make chicken apple stir fry. Just cooking spray, chicken, semi tart apples, and cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, (or just use an apple pie/pumpkin pie spice blend) with a dash of ginger. I stumbled upon this when I was in college, I love stir frys and one day I was looking at bamboo shoots and water chestnuts and thinking they were pretty expensive for something with virtually no nutritional value. So I got apples and tried that since tghey were cheap and could give me a little crunch like the water chestnuts, lol!

    I'm a vegetarian now, but when I used to eat meat, I would sometimes put pineapple with chicken--especially in stir-fries.
