Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 slices pineapple
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, slightly pounded
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 garlic cloves
1/2 cup flour
1 cup water
3/4 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 lime, juice of
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 pinch ground red pepper
minced cilantro (optional)
crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix water, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, coconut extract and red pepper.
  • Set aside.
  • Cut pineapple slices in half.
  • In a nonstick skillet, sauté in oil over medium heat until slightly browned.
  • Set aside.
  • Rub chicken breasts with garlic.
  • Dredge in flour until thoroughly coated.
  • In pan juices, sauté chicken over medium heat until browned,about 2 minutes.
  • Turn and brown other side.
  • Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • Rinse or wipe pan.
  • Note: you don't need to cook the chicken in this step; you're just browning the flour coating so that it sticks to the chicken while it's simmering in the sauce.
  • Cooking the flour also prevents a pasty flavor.
  • Pour honey-soy mixture into pan.
  • Return chicken to pan and simmer in honey mixture for 12-15 minutes over low heat.
  • Turn chicken once during cooking being careful not to tear the coating.
  • Note: Make sure the sauce is only simmering.
  • If the heat is too high, the mixture bubbles vigorously and burns, ruining the flavor of the dish.
  • Serve over rice.
  • Serve with snow peas or broccoli, arranged decoratively with pineapple.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro and crushed red pepper, if desired.

The sauce in this dish is amazing. It's sweet, tangy, and a little bit spicy. It's perfect for dipping chicken, rice, or vegetables.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of chicken. It was still delicious! The tofu absorbed all the wonderful flavors of the sauce.

I made this dish in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was thick and flavorful.
