Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 pound) roasting chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped, juices reserved
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 to 2 cups chicken stock (optional)
1/4 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Place the chicken pieces in a heavy bottomed saucepan or casserole. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Top the chicken with the pineapple chunks, pineapple juices, onions, red bell pepper, garlic, cinnamon stick and bay leaf. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and sherry, and pour evenly over the top of the chicken. Add chicken stock, if needed, to cover the chicken pieces with liquid. (If you use canned pineapple chunks, the pineapple juice can be used instead of the chicken stock).
  • Cover loosely and simmer over low heat until the chicken is tender and the sauce is reduced, about 45 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
  • Transfer the chicken, fruit and vegetables to individual plates and sprinkle with the almonds. Serve over rice and pour the sauce over the top.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great!

I'm allergic to pineapple, so I made this recipe with a different fruit instead. It turned out great!

I didn't have any pineapple sauce, so I used a different sauce instead. It turned out great!

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler recipe next time.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try it again with a different cooking method.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the sauce was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
