Irresistible Brown Sugar Pineapple Chicken: A Sweet and Savory Weeknight Delight

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1. Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper, ensuring an even coating.

2. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple chunks, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, chili flakes (if using), and lime juice. Stir the ingredients together until well combined.

3. 3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

4. 4. Pour the pineapple sauce over the seared chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken beautifully.

5. 5. Garnish the Brown Sugar Pineapple Chicken with fresh cilantro and serve it alongside your favorite side dish, such as rice or roasted vegetables.

Notes

This dish provides a balanced combination of protein from the chicken, carbohydrates from the pineapple and brown sugar, and a moderate amount of healthy fats from the olive oil. Additionally, the pineapple adds a boost of vitamins and minerals, making this a nutritious and satisfying meal option.
