CARIBBEAN CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE-CILANTRO RICE



Caribbean Chicken with Pineapple-Cilantro Rice image

For something a little more light and fun, but still pretty easy.

Provided by KyleeJo06

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 ½ cups water
1 (8 ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice, drained - divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pinch garlic salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix together the light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, thyme, cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, paprika, chili powder, and nutmeg in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Rub both sides of chicken breasts with the spice mixture, and place into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning mix on top of chicken, if desired.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is lightly browned, no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  • While chicken is baking, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Chop half the pineapple slices. Mix the chopped pineapple, cilantro, and olive oil into the cooked rice, and season to taste with a pinch or two of garlic salt and black pepper. Fluff the rice up with a fork, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with the baked chicken, topped with remaining pineapple slices.

CARIBBEAN-STYLE FRIED CHICKEN



Caribbean-Style Fried Chicken image

Actually, fried and baked. This is easy to put together! Equally good hot from the oven or served cold at a picnic. The first time I made this I used skinless chicken and it was really delicious! From The Caribbean Cookbook by Hermes' House Publications.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken drumsticks, about 1 pound total
4 chicken thighs, about 1 pound total
2 teaspoons curry powder (homemade is best)
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked paprika)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup flour (or more)
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Stir together the marinade and toss to coat with the chicken pieces in an ovenproof baking dish.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours but up to 12 hours. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor.
  • Once marinade time is completed, transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl and soak in the milk for 15-20 minutes. Transfer back to the baking dish. Discard the milk.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large saute pan heat up a little bit of oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shake off the excess flour, and add to the heated pan. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Fry the chicken pieces until light brown but not cooked all the way through.
  • With slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces back to the baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
