SIMPLE MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS

• In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; remove 3/4 cup for basting; cover and refrigerate. In a large resealable plastic bag, place the chicken and remaining marinade. Seal bag and turn to coat, refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight., Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken covered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Grill 3-4 minutes longer on each side or until juices run clear, basting several times.

PINEAPPLE-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, garlic powder, ground cayenne and black pepper. Transfer 1 tablespoon of this marinade mixture to a separate medium bowl and add the diced pineapple, red onion and cilantro. This is your salsa; toss until well mixed and set aside.
• Add the grated pineapple and its juices to the marinade mixture in the large bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes (and no longer).
• Once the chicken is done marinating, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken pieces, leaving any marinade behind, in a single layer so that they don't touch and let cook until the bottoms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides and no longer pink on the inside, 4 to 5 minutes more.
• Serve the chicken over rice and top with the reserved pineapple salsa.

CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE

Cook and stir over low heat until thickened. , Place chicken in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes. Bake 10 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 170°, basting several times with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with chives if desired.

TERIYAKI AND PINEAPPLE CHICKEN

• Place the green bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, teriyaki sauce, pineapple chunks with the juice, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper into the wok, and turn the heat to medium. Bring to a simmer, stir in the flour, and continue simmering 15 minutes until thickened.

PINEAPPLE TERIYAKI MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a sealable plastic bag. Poke holes in chicken so that the marinade can really sink in. Let it marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Grill over medium heat until juices run clear and chicken is cooked through.

PINEAPPLE ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Prep your chicken breast- trim and pound out your chicken breast. My original blog post has how to instructions on how to prep a chicken breast (just in case you need it).
• If you haven't already, zest your orange and juice it- set aside. Mince or press your garlic and set aside.
• Start dumping everything into the bag: Orange pineapple juice, soy sauce, juice and zest from the orange, pressed garlic, ginger paste, honey, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried lemon peep, salt, and pepper (optional, add in a little siracha if you want to add some heat). Close the freezer bag (make sure it is good and sealed) and use your hands to swish everything around until all the ingredients are incorporated. You'll feel the brown sugar start to dissolve into the liquid.
• Place the chicken breasts into the bag. Slowly press up as you seal the bag to get all the extra air out and making sure that the chicken is totally submerged. Store the bag of chicken in a bowl (in case it springs a leak) in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours (my preference).
• The glaze takes about 30 minutes to prepare, but is super simple. Dump all your glaze ingredients, orange marmalade, pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika into a sauce pan. Whisk everything together until incorporated. If the marmalade is still chunky, that is totally fine. It will melt as you heat up the mixture.
• Place the sauce pan on your stove set to medium high heat. My electric stove has numbers set from 1-10 and I set the glaze on a 6. Let the glaze come to a boil and reduce the heat to medium (a 5 to 4 for me). Allow to cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Your goal is to reduce the glaze by half.
• Preheat your oven to 425°. Or start heating your grill (this recipe is great grilled, but my Colorado weather doesn't always allow it).
• Line a cookie sheet with foil (easy clean up, because the sugars get sticky and burnt on the bottom of the pan), then I set a rack on top- this allows the air in the oven to surround the chicken (quicker cooking). Spritz a little oil onto the rack and then place your chicken on top.
• Add your first layer of glaze, and bake your chicken at 425° for 10 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and crank up your oven to broil.Add another layer of glaze and broil for 5 minutes. Repeat this process (add glaze, broil 5 minutes) for about 3 more times, or until you run out of glaze and the chicken reads an internal temperature of 165°.

PINEAPPLE BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In ungreased 9-inch square pan, place chicken, skin side up (I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts).
• Brush with butter.
• Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes.
• Prepare glaze.
• Pour over chicken breasts.
• Return to oven and continue baking 30 to 40 minutes, basting occasionally until deep golden brown and tender.

MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE RELISH

Steps:

• To make the marinade: Slice the pineapple crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Using a paring knife, remove the core from each round (this can be done roughly, since the core is edible). Chop half the pineapple coarsely; set aside the remaining half for the relish. Add the chopped pineapple to a blender, together with the jalapeño, onion, vinegar, garlic, and salt and blend until smooth. Transfer the marinade to a bowl, add the chicken breasts, and refrigerate, covered, for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a two-zone fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it. To create your medium-heat zone, nudge the embers 2 to 3 inches lower than that.
• To make the relish: Toss the remaining pineapple in oil, honey, and salt to coat. Grill over medium heat until it is nicely caramelized, about 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the jalapeño and onion over medium heat until lightly charred, turning often, about 3 minutes for the jalapeño and 8 minutes for the onion. As they finish cooking, transfer the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion to a cutting board.
• When they are cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion and add to a bowl with the vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and cilantro. Season with more salt, and add more vinegar or honey, if needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and bring to room temperature. Place skin side down over high heat. After about 90 seconds, using tongs, rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. Flip the breasts and do the same on the other side. Once you have nice grill marks on both sides, move to medium heat and cook, turning often, until an instant-read meat thermometer, placed in the thickest part of a breast, reads 160ºF on a meat thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and let the breasts rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the relish.

SPICY PINEAPPLE MARINADE FOR CHICKEN

Steps:

• Puree pineapple, jalapenos and garlic in blender until almost smooth. Add pineapple juice, lime juice, cilantro and lime peel and process until blended. Pour marinade into large glass baking dish. Add chicken, turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• Prepare barbecue or preheat broiler. Remove chicken from marinade.
• Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup marinade into small bowl. Whisk in honey. Brush mixture over chicken. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Grill or broil until cooked through, turning frequently and basting with honey marinade, about 30 minutes.
