Pineapple Dijon Chicken Recipes

HONEY-DIJON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rub chicken with garlic and thyme. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil on both sides until no longer pink. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, pineapple juice and water until smooth. Stir in mustard and honey. Add to the skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
• Spoon half of the chicken and sauce into a greased 11-inch.x2-inch baking dish; cool. Serve with rice or noodles.
• Cover and freeze the remaining breast for up to 3 months.
• To use frozen chicken: Thaw completely in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes or until heated through.

EASY PINEAPPLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Add chicken strips and let marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok. Add bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add scallions and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the wok; discard marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the centre, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Combine pineapple juice and cornstarch in a bowl; mix together. Add pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in pineapple juice mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLES AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine pineapple juice with the oil, white wine, soy sauce and dijon mustard, and mix well.
• Lay the chicken pieces in a large oven-proof dish (I love the aluminum disposable pans) and top with the pineapple chunks, diced onion, sliced mushrooms, red bell pepper, and green olives (if using). The green olives, although are optional, go together really well with the pineapple and provide a wonderful contrast.
• Top with the pineapple juice mixture, and cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in a preheated 450 degree F (230 deg C) oven for 1 hour, then reduce to 400 deg F (200 deg C) and Bake for an additional 1-1.5 hours, or until chicken is done (cooking time will depend on strength of your oven). Turning the chicken over once through cooking will ensure that the chicken absorbs the flavor of the sauce.
• When chicken is done, remove the foil and turn the broiler on for 5 min to crisp it up.
• Optional: You can reduce some of the sauce in a pan and pour that over the chicken when serving.
