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.
