Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken

Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients Needed: 

5    Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast

2    Packages of Dry Onion Soup Mix

2    Cups of Water

2    (15 ounce) Cans of Pineapple

1    Large Orange, sliced in rounds (optional)

1    Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil

1    (16 ounce) bottle of K. C. Masterpiece Ginger or Honey Teriyaki Marinade

2-4 Cups of Mushrooms (optional) 

First you need to mix up your marinade which consist of 1 of the Cans of Pineapple, orange rounds(optional), 6-8 ounces of the K. C. Masterpiece Marinade and the boneless, skinlesss chicken breast(make small slits in the breast so that the marinade soaks in the chicken throughout). The chicken should marinate for a minimum of 4-6 hours and maximum of about 12 for the most desired taste. 

After the chicken has been marinating for the amount of time expressed above, remove the chicken and place on a baking sheet and throw away the marinade. Some people will try and use the marinade that the chicken has been sitting in for hours but I wouldn't suggest it. I know the recipe for the sauce is relatively similar but still I wouldn't suggest using the same. Cook the chicken at 425 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until cooked throughout. When the chicken has been completely cooked, removed from the over and let cool while you prepare the sauce to sautee the chicken and mushrooms(optional) in. After cooled cube the chicken up. 

For the sauce you will need a sautee' pan or a wok, I find it easier to use a wok only because they tend to be bigger and can hold more. In the sautee pan or wok add the dry onion soup mix, water, 2nd can of pineapple, vegetable oil, and 6-8 ounces(to taste) of K. C. Masterpiece Marinade. After you have mixed up the sauce and got it bubbling, add in the in the mushroom slices, and the cubes of chicken. Let it bubble and simmer for about 15 minutes. 

*You do have the option of sautéing the chicken and mushrooms seperately. I have done it before many of times. I'll just cube up the chicken and then simmer it in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes then removed using a draining spoon and set aside on a platter, then add the mushrooms in after removing the chicken and serve as chicken with a side of mushrooms. 

Also, really good with rice or with steamed vegetables. Hope you all enjoy!!! :)
