Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 (20 ounce) can DOLE® Pineapple Slices
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
1 cup Jasmine rice
1 ½ cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Drain pineapple; reserve 1 tablespoon juice. Chop 2 pineapple slices; set aside for rice.
  • Mix together reserved juice, garlic powder, thyme, nutmeg, allspice, salt and cinnamon in small bowl, until blended.
  • Arrange chicken on foil-lined sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper. Rub each breast half with spice mixture over and under the skin. Place two pineapple slices on each breast. Bake at 350 degrees F 30 to 40 minutes, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165 degrees F and is no longer pink in center (Note: if using chicken legs, time will need to be increased 15 to 25 minutes).
  • Cook olive oil, red onion and red pepper over medium-high heat in medium saucepan about 5 minutes or until onions are tender. Add rice and chopped pineapple to sauce pan, cook 3 minutes more. Add chicken broth, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Add chopped basil; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
  • Arrange rice and chicken on 4 plates for service. Garnish with additional chopped basil, if desired.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

This recipe was a total disaster! The chicken was burnt and the rice was mushy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the rice was cooked perfectly. I'll try this recipe again, but I'll cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
