BAKED PINEAPPLE CHICKEN



Baked Pineapple Chicken image

Although there are many "pineapple chicken" recipes on 'zaar, I came up with another version that I "tweaked" to our liking. This recipe has minimal prep, but requires time to marinate in the refrigerator. The amount of garlic and the sweet red chili sauce give this dish it's zing. Easy to prepare. *Note* "prep time" does not include marinade time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use frozen pineapple that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are very lean and can easily become dry if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce is the key to the flavor of this dish, so it's important to use a good quality sauce. Look for a sauce that is made with real soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
  • Serve with rice or noodles. This dish is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with roasted vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Pineapple chicken bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. It's also a great dish for potlucks and parties.
