Lemon-Pineapple Chicken

DEAR family, friends, and devoted readers - I am SO happy to be back on-line!!! A HUGE Thank You to John Dilley of Staples. I have been "jonesing" not being able to write my tasty tidbits to you.:( This one sounds wonderful:

2 8 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs*)
2 T. low sodium chicken broth*
1 T. Ponzu lime or lemon sauce*
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 t. sea salt*
2 t. cornstarch
2 T. lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup plus 1 T. rice vinegar
1 cup canned pineapple chucks in their juice (no sugar added)
1/2 cup grated carrot
1 med. red pepper*, cut into 1 & 1/2" strips
1 t. grated lemon rind
1 cup shredded lettuce

Preheat broiler. Wash chicken and pat dry. Combine next four ingredients in a shallow dish. Place chicken in marinade. Let stand 15 mins., turning occasionally so that entire surface of chicken gets coated. Broil on rack 4" from heat, turning once, until done on both sides. While chicken is broiling, prepare the sauce: Stir cornstarch into lemon juice; combine with water and vinegar in a saucepan. Add pineapple, carrot, red pepper, and lemon rind. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until thickened. When chicken is done, place on two individual serving plates. Pour Lemon-Pineapple Sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately with a border of shredded lettuce.

Today remember, "You have the power to change someone's life simply by the words you speak". So chose carefully, and HAVE FUN!!

Love,

MM

  1. This chicken dish sounds very good but no pineapple in the house. Did a standby oven chicken dish where the chicken breasts can sometimes be a little bland. Did a quick mini marinade with Ponzu before assembling the dish. Results were delish. Ponzu is now a staple in my pantry. Sounds like something Bernie Madoff dreamed up - Ponzu Ponzi - Haha!!
