  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)
– Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Pineapple & Brown Sugar Chicken can be a breeze if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

2. Sauté Garlic and Ginger: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Cook the Chicken: Add chicken thighs to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through.

4. Mix the Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, in a small bowl, mix brown sugar and soy sauce together until smooth.

5. Add Pineapple: When the chicken is almost done, pour in the brown sugar sauce and add the pineapple chunks. Stir well to coat the chicken and pineapple in the sauce.

6. Simmer: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes sticky.

7. Finish Cooking: Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

8. Garnish: Once ready, remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

9. Serve: Plate the chicken and pineapple to showcase the salad of colors and flavors.
