PINEAPPLE-MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS



Pineapple-Marinated Chicken Breasts image

Bromelain, the group of enzymes in fresh pineapple, is excellent at breaking down the connective tissues in thick, fibrous chicken breasts. In this simple marinade, grated pineapple completely alters the texture of the breast meat, resulting in something that's akin to luscious dark meat. Briefly marinating here is important: Leave it too long and the chicken will fall apart during cooking, becoming shreddy and a little gluey. Fifteen minutes is the sweet spot. The accompanying pineapple salsa is a bright topping for the juicy morsels of aromatic chicken and rice.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     dinner, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 packed tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
1 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup diced fresh pineapple (1/2-inch chunks)
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh pineapple, including accumulated juices
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
Cooked white rice, for serving

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.

FRIED CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE HOT SAUCE



Fried chicken with pineapple hot sauce image

Enjoy crispy fried chicken with a zingy pineapple hot sauce as a tasty side dish. Brine the chicken overnight in buttermilk, then toss in a lovely smoked paprika coating

Provided by Milli Taylor

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 heaped tsp fine sea salt
500ml buttermilk
200g rice flour
100g cornflour
3½ tsp baking powder
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
2 tsp garlic granules
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 litre vegetable oil, for deep-frying
10g oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Quarter each chicken thigh, then tip into a large bowl. Season well with the salt, then pour over the buttermilk and give it all a good mix. Cover and chill overnight.
  • Combine the rice flour, cornflour, baking powder, paprika, garlic granules, dried oregano, 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper in a medium bowl. Drop in the brined chicken pieces, four at a time, tossing lightly to coat well. Gently shake off any excess, then arrange on a baking tray.
  • Heat the oil in a large, deep saucepan (ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full) to 170C or until a cube of bread dropped in browns within 30 seconds. Fry the chicken in small batches for 3 mins at a time until golden and cooked through. This will help keep the oil at the right temperature and won't overcrowd the pan.
  • Remove the fried chicken pieces to a clean tea towel using tongs to drain off any excess oil, then transfer to a wire rack to ensure they stay crisp. Alternatively, put the fried chicken on a clean baking tray and keep warm and crisp in a low oven. When all the chicken pieces have been fried, drop the oregano leaves into the hot oil and fry until crisp, about 30 seconds- 1 min. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, scatter over the fried oregano and serve with the pineapple sauce (see 'goes well with', below).

MOJO CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE



Mojo Chicken With Pineapple image

This simple, bright chicken dinner will transport you to a sunnier place, no matter what color the sky may be where you are. It starts with a citrusy, garlicky Cuban mojo. Instead of marinating the chicken in the mojo before cooking, you marinate it afterward: As the warm, broiled chicken sits in the mojo (for up to an hour), it soaks up the lively flavors.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 pineapple, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (about 3 cups)
1 orange, zested, then quartered
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 jalapeño, stemmed
A few cilantro sprigs, leaves removed, then stems finely chopped
2 large limes, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. On a foil-lined quarter sheet pan (or half sheet pan), drizzle the pineapple chunks and orange quarters with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then broil until charred in spots, 8 to 13 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the mojo: On a cutting board, coarsely chop the garlic and jalapeño. Add the chopped cilantro stems, orange zest, lime zest, dried oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Chop and smash the mixture until a coarse paste forms. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the lime juice, ground cumin and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Transfer the charred fruit to the mojo and transfer the chicken to the sheet pan. Coat with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and broil until cooked through and charred in spots, 15 to 20 minutes (no need to flip).
  • Add the cooked chicken to the mojo, pineapple and orange wedges, and toss to coat. Let sit 5 minutes or up to 1 hour. Slice the chicken and serve on a platter, with the sauce poured over top and the charred pineapple and orange wedges alongside. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with cilantro leaves. Squeeze orange wedges over top as desired.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe pineapple: Using ripe pineapple will give your sauce a sweeter and more flavorful taste. Look for pineapples that are golden yellow in color and have a slightly sweet smell.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic add a delicious depth of flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh ginger or garlic on hand, you can use ground ginger and garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add vegetables to the sauce: Vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, and carrots can add color, flavor, and nutrition to the sauce. Simply add them to the sauce along with the pineapple and cook until they are tender.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Chicken with pineapple sauce is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The sauce can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken skewers or spring rolls.

Conclusion:

Chicken with pineapple sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet and tangy pineapple sauce with tender chicken is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own kitchen.
