Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 1 can pineapple slices (canned, with juice)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated or minced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces scallions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken thighs in a 9x13-inch baking dish or any oven-safe dish with sides.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple slices and juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-mixed.
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring the chicken is coated and the pineapple slices are distributed throughout the dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake for 20 minutes covered. Then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes to allow the chicken to brown slightly.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken, ensuring it has reached 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallions if desired.
Serve warm over rice, with steamed vegetables, or a crisp side salad for a complete meal.
