Ingredients
- 20 ounces pineapple tidbits drained (1 can)
- ½ cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ small yellow onion peeled and diced
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
- green onions thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the pineapple tidbits, chicken stock, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, cornstarch, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
- Season both sides of the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
- Place an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Then add the oil, onion, and chicken thighs once the skillet is hot.
- Sear the chicken thighs for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken has a golden brown color. (see note)
- Pour the pineapple sauce over the chicken thighs. Then bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbly and thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the chicken to sit 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken up as it cools.
- Serve warm with chopped green onions and parsley on top, if desired.
Notes
- If you don't have an ovenproof skillet, transfer the chicken and onions to a baking dish before pouring the sauce on top. Then bake as directed.
