Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 cups pineapple chunks (canned, drained or fresh)
- 0.3333333333333333 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated or finely minced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks scallions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the pineapple chunks and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to caramelize. Stir gently and then remove them to a plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, ginger, and minced garlic to create the sauce.
Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet.
Cover and cook for 10 minutes, turning the chicken once to coat it evenly in the sauce.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Add the caramelized pineapple chunks back into the skillet and gently toss to combine with the chicken and sauce.
Sprinkle sliced scallions and sesame seeds on top for garnish.
Serve hot over steamed rice or with your favorite side dish. Enjoy!
