Pineapple Chicken

Pineapple Chicken

I made this dish on a whim, not sure how it turned out and my sister claims its my best yet! Its super easy as well as fast for those in a rush. I paired the chicken with brown rice and fresh corn on the cob.

Ingredients:

6 Boneless chicken breasts

Soy Vay Island Terrayaki sauce

Unsweetened pineapple slices

Directions:

The night before, clean chicken breasts and rest in a pan. Pour enough Soy Vay so that it coats every piece of chicken and there is about 1/4 of an inch of juice sitting on the bottom of the pan. Next, semi-drain the pineapple juice out of the can. Add remaining juice and pineapples over the chicken. When ready to cook you simply pour the sauce from the pan in your saute pan, allow it to heat up over medium heat. Once the sauce is bubbling add first 3 pieces of chicken. Cook for about 6 minutes or until brown. Repeat with the next 3 pieces.
