PINEAPPLE-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS



Pineapple-Marinated Chicken Breasts image

Bromelain, the group of enzymes in fresh pineapple, is excellent at breaking down the connective tissues in thick, fibrous chicken breasts. In this simple marinade, grated pineapple completely alters the texture of the breast meat, resulting in something that's akin to luscious dark meat. Briefly marinating here is important: Leave it too long and the chicken will fall apart during cooking, becoming shreddy and a little gluey. Fifteen minutes is the sweet spot. The accompanying pineapple salsa is a bright topping for the juicy morsels of aromatic chicken and rice.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup diced fresh pineapple (1/2-inch chunks)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh pineapple, including accumulated juices
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, garlic powder, ground cayenne and black pepper. Transfer 1 tablespoon of this marinade mixture to a separate medium bowl and add the diced pineapple, red onion and cilantro. This is your salsa; toss until well mixed and set aside.
  • Add the grated pineapple and its juices to the marinade mixture in the large bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (and no longer).
  • Once the chicken is done marinating, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken pieces, leaving any marinade behind, in a single layer so that they don't touch and let cook until the bottoms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and no longer pink on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve the chicken over rice and top with the reserved pineapple salsa.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen pineapple chunks. Fresh pineapple is best, but frozen pineapple will work in a pinch. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Sear the chicken breasts before baking. This will help to lock in the juices and flavor.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to tenderize the chicken and add flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own.
  • Bake the chicken breasts until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides. Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all good options.

Conclusion:

Pineapple chicken breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
