Wow! You are going to love this recipe. Not only is it easy and tasty but virtually fat free. It's sweet, sour and spicy! Serve over steamed or baked rice*. Yummy! Be sure to buy pineapple chunks packed in juice, not syrup, or the sauce will be too sweet!
--------------------------
Baked Pineapple Chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each), trimmed
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice, drained, reserve juice
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons curry powder
1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoon water
1/3 cup sliced almonds
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken in a 9 by 13-inch baking dish coated lightly with vegetable oil spray.
Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving juice. Add enough water to juice, if needed, to equal 1 cup. Whisk the pineapple juice, honey, vinegar, soy sauce, curry powder, and Tabasco together in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer, whisking often, until the mixture has thickened, about 8 minutes.
Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, then whisk into the honey mixture. Stir in the pineapple chunks. Pour the pineapple sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the almonds. Bake until the chicken registers 160 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 18 minutes.

I wanted to share this, whenever I have any kind of chicken, with it I have this drink called purple. You must have heard about it since it's doing a lot of rounds in the celebrity circuit and is all over the news. Its tastes amazing with chicken, try it and let me know if you liked it or not. It is a health drink which is made up of 7 fruits juice and is high on antioxidants and you know about antioxidants right? it prevents premature ageing, what else do growing women want huh, LOL!!
