Sweet & Savory Pineapple Chicken

Sweet & Savory Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1/3 cup Organic Original Coconut Aminos
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons Nutiva Organic Coconut Coconut Oil 
  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped

Pineapple Salsa

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • ½ shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 avocado, pitted and diced

Instruction

  1.  In a bowl, whisk together the seasoning sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, shallots, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes. Pour ⅓ of the sauce over the chicken and let marinate for 15 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, make the pineapple salsa. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and gently toss. 
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, and sauté for 5 minutes until cooked through on both sides. Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the remaining coconut aminos mix. Cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
  4. Serve the chicken over rice and spoon the salsa over the chicken.
