Pineapple is my favorite fruit. Chicken is not my favorite food. This recipe was an attempt at making chicken more exciting, while still keeping it healthy. The result was a sweet and salty chicken and delicious bits of pineapple.
5 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
Juice from 1 Can of Pineapple Chunks (reserve pineapple)
3 Tbsps of Ketchup
3 Tbsps of Soy Sauce (I use low sodium)
Pinch of Ground Ginger
3 Garlic Cloves, smashed
Depending on the size of the chicken, cut breasts in half and place in a plastic bag. Add all other ingredients to the bag (except pineapple chunks). Seal the bag and mix around. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least a couple of hours.
When ready to bake, dump bag contents into a baking dish and top with the pineapple chunks. Set oven to 375 degrees and bake chicken for about 40 minutes until cooked all the way through.
This chicken is great served with some Jasmine rice mixed with some cilantro and scallions.
