Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin help keep the chicken moist and flavorful during baking.
  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds a bright, tropical flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Make sure to leave some space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly. If the chicken is too crowded, it will steam instead of bake.
  • Roast the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • Serve the chicken immediately: The chicken is best served immediately after it is cooked. You can garnish it with fresh tarragon or parsley if desired.

Conclusion:

This sweet and savory baked chicken with pineapple and tarragon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the pineapple and tarragon add a bright and flavorful twist. Serve this chicken with rice, potatoes, or vegetables for a complete meal.
