BAKED CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLES AND MUSHROOMS



Baked Chicken With Pineapples and Mushrooms image

I was in a bit of tropical mood, but we don't like our chicken sweet, so I created this recipe, and it was a huge hit!

Provided by AniSarit

Categories     Chicken

Time 2h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 roasting chicken, cut into eighths
1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained well, juice reserved
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup white wine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 (8 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained well
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1/4 cup sliced green olives (optional)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine pineapple juice with the oil, white wine, soy sauce and dijon mustard, and mix well.
  • Lay the chicken pieces in a large oven-proof dish (I love the aluminum disposable pans) and top with the pineapple chunks, diced onion, sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and green olives (if using). The green olives, although are optional, go together really well with the pineapple and provide a wonderful contrast.
  • Top with the pineapple juice mixture, and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in a preheated 450 degree F (230 deg C) oven for 1 hour, then reduce to 400 deg F (200 deg C) and Bake for an additional 1-1.5 hours, or until chicken is done (cooking time will depend on strength of your oven). Turning the chicken over once through cooking will ensure that the chicken absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
  • When chicken is done, remove the foil and turn the broiler on for 5 min to crisp it up.
  • Optional: You can reduce some of the sauce in a pan and pour that over the chicken when serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • For a crispier skin, pat the chicken dry before baking and brush it with melted butter or olive oil.
  • If you don't have pineapple chunks, you can use fresh or canned pineapple slices. Just be sure to drain the canned pineapple well before using.
  • To add a bit of sweetness, sprinkle the chicken with brown sugar before baking.
  • For a tangy flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or white wine to the pineapple mixture.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken with pineapple chunks is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please the whole family.
