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.

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.
