Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

15 oz can pineapple chunks in juice ($1.29)
1 inch fresh ginger, grated ($0.11)
2 cloves garlic, minced ($0.16)
1/4 cup soy sauce ($0.40)
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar ($0.17)
2 Tbsp brown sugar ($0.03)

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 lbs) ($2.35)
3 whole green onions, sliced ($0.33)
4 cups cooked rice ($0.69)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drain the pineapple juice from the can to use in the sauce (it should be about 3/4 cup juice total). Save the pineapple chunks for later. Combine the pineapple juice, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small sauce pot. Stir until everything is well combined and the cornstarch is dissolved. Cook the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil and becomes thick and glossy. Turn the burner off and add the pineapple chunks to the sauce.
  • Coat a small casserole dish with non-stick spray. Arrange the chicken thighs in the dish so that they are not overlapping. Pour the pineapple teriyaki sauce over the chicken, allowing some to get under the chicken pieces.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Top the chicken with the sliced green onions. To serve, scoop one chicken thigh plus pineapple pieces and sauce over a bowl of cooked rice.

PINEAPPLE CHICKEN TERIYAKI



Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki image

I love Japanese chicken teriyaki, but I find most recipes lack a little pizzazz. This recipe has even the most finicky of eaters in my household cleaning their plates and coming back for seconds. Serve with steamed rice.

Provided by Margaret Parrish

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup water
¼ cup soy sauce
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark molasses
½ tablespoon fresh ground ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
3 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 (16 ounce) package frozen oriental-style vegetables

  • Heat oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium heat until sizzling. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink inside, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken thighs so that they have enough space to brown evenly.
  • Make sure the chicken thighs are cooked through before adding the pineapple and sauce. You can check this by cutting into the thickest part of the thigh and making sure that the juices run clear.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the skillet.
  • The sauce is thickened with cornstarch, so be sure to whisk it constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from clumping.
  • Serve the chicken thighs over rice or noodles, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

Teriyaki pineapple chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple and teriyaki sauce add a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
