Chicken is one of my favorite meat next to fish of course. I love pork and beef but I am trying to be healthy. I have been thinking of becoming a vegetarian but I need to do it slowly. I think eating some veggies and fruits with Chicken is not that bad especially if you exercise every day too. Anyway here's a recipe of the pineapple chicken I really like.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 k. of chicken thighs
salt and pepper
1 tbsp. of dried rosemary
1 tsp. of finely grated ginger
1 large can of sliced pineapple or pineapple chunks, juice reserved
3-4 tbsps. of finely sliced onion leaves
5-6 tbsps. of melted butter
How To:
Place the chicken thighs in a large glass bowl. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add the dried rosemary and mix, working the seasonings and herbs into the chicken meat. Let sit for about 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 170oC.
Spread the melted butter over the entire bottom of the baking dish which should be large enough to hold the chicken thighs in a single layer. Arrange the chicken thighs, skin side up. Pour in the pineapple juice. Sprinkle the grated ginger and onion leaves on top. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken thighs.
Remove the baking dish from the oven (the tops of the chicken should be lightly browned by this time) and add the pineapples. If using pineapple slices, you may cut them into halves or into chunks. Return the chicken to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
Serve hot with rice.
