Now, let's dive into the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional garnish: sliced green onions, sesame seeds
Instructions:
1. **Preheat the Oven**: Start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). This ensures that your chicken cooks evenly and develops a delicious golden glaze.
2. **Prepare the Glaze**: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined. This flavorful glaze will infuse your chicken and pineapple with irresistible taste.
3. **Season the Chicken**: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. This enhances the flavor of the chicken and provides a perfect balance to the sweetness of the glaze.
4. **Cook the Chicken**: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned.
5. **Add the Pineapple**: Arrange the pineapple chunks around the chicken breasts in the skillet. The pineapple will caramelize beautifully and add a delicious sweetness to the dish.
6. **Glaze the Chicken and Pineapple**: Pour the prepared glaze over the chicken and pineapple, ensuring that they are evenly coated. This glaze will create a sticky, caramelized coating that is full of flavor.
7. **Bake in the Oven**: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and golden brown.
8. **Serve and Enjoy**: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, before serving.
These Glazed Chicken and Pineapple are perfect for serving with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the irresistible combination of savory chicken and sweet pineapple in every bite!
