STICKY PINEAPPLE CHICKEN



Sticky Pineapple Chicken image

Provided by Kelly Senyei

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup diced pineapple
1/2 cup roasted salted cashews, optional
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk the pineapple juice, soy sauce, stock, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic and cornstarch together in a medium saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1 cup and is the consistency of thick syrup. Set the sauce aside.
  • Add the oil to a large nonstick skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any liquid, then add the sauce to the skillet and stir until combined. Add the pineapple and cashews if using; cook, stirring, for an additional 1 minute. Serve the chicken on a bed of rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pineapple: Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, choose one packed in its own juice, not syrup.
  • Cut the pineapple properly: Cut the pineapple into bite-sized pieces. If you are using a fresh pineapple, be sure to remove the core before cutting.
  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before adding it to the sauce will help to develop flavor and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is a key ingredient in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality one. Kikkoman or Yamasa are two good brands.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a lean protein and can easily become dry if overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken with pineapple is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the chicken is juicy and the pineapple is still crisp.

Conclusion:

Chicken with pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve at a party or potluck. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is sure to please everyone. With its vibrant colors and tropical flavors, chicken with pineapple is a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal that is sure to please, give chicken with pineapple a try. You won't be disappointed.
