Easy Aloha Pineapple Chicken Dinner Recipe
I’m always on the look-out for quick and easy family dinner, especially when they’re naturally gluten and dairy-free.
Note: if you and your family do NOT need any diet modifications, you can easily use regular all-purpose flour for this Aloha Pineapple dinner. This chicken dinner only needs that simple flour tweak to make it a gluten-free recipe.
You’ll Need:
- 1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free or all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 can (16 oz) pineapple chunks
- 1.5 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 Tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups cooked rice
Instructions:
- Follow cooking instructions for your rice to prepare while you are making the chicken. I use my Instant Pot.
- Cut the chicken into strips. Put the flour into a gallon bag and add the chicken. Shake to coat.
- Brown the chicken with the oil over medium heat in a skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes each side or until cooked through and juices are clear. Set the chicken aside.
- While the chicken is cooking, drain the pineapple juice and reserve 1/4 cup. (You can discard the remaining juice or drink it.)
- Combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup pineapple juice in a small bowl. Add to the skillet after you’ve removed the chicken. Add the honey, soy sauce, and pepper; stir well.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook and stir. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for another 30-60 seconds or until the juice mixture is thickened.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the pineapple and chicken, heating through.
- Serve over rice.
