Pineapple Baked Chicken
Servings: 6
Calories: 233
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts), cut into strips (600g)
2 cups pineapple, diced
1 red pepper, roughly chopped
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 lime, juice and zest
1/8 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp chili flakes
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp cilantro (for garnish)
oil
In a large baking dish, toss together all the ingredients. Wrap dish and place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours (overnight is ideal). Bake chicken at 400ºF for 30-40 minutes, stirring once or twice until chicken is cooked through and pineapple begins to caramelize. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Stir Fry:
1 red pepper, finely sliced
1 green pepper, finely sliced
2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced
1 cup julienned carrots
To plate:
4 green onions, finely sliced
2 cups rice noodles, cooked
cilantro (for garnish)
In a large bowl, whisk together sauce ingredients and add chicken strips. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
Once chicken has marinated, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add chicken, discarding the marinade and fry chicken until almost cooked through. Add peppers, cabbage and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked and vegetables are to your liking. Serve stir fry over hot rice noodles and garnish with cilantro and green onions. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Chicken Fingers:
4 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
3/4 cup flour
3 tbsp cajun or chili seasoning
3 eggs
2 cups, cooked and cooled quinoa
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a wide bowl, mix together flour and seasoning. Set aside. In a second bowl, beat eggs. Set aside. Place quinoa in a large dish. Set aside. To bread chicken fingers, one strip at a time, lightly coat in flour mixture. Dip into beaten eggs and finish off by pressing into quinoa. Place on a large parchment-lined baking sheet and continue to bread remaining chicken strips. Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes or until the quinoa coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. For best results, flip once during cooking to ensure even browning. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Honey Mustard Sauce:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
lemon juice to taste
salt and pepper to taste
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, mustard and yogurt. Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
