Baked Chicken with Pineapple

|

Ingredients:

  • 8 (600g) slices of chicken meat (thighs or breasts part)
  • 1 chopped red pepper
  • 2 cups diced pineapple
  • 1 chopped red onion
  • 1 tsp powdered garlic
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 lime juice zest
  • salt and pepper
  • oil
  • 3 tbsp cilantro for garnishing

Instructions:

Step 1. Toss all Ingredients

Use a  large mixing bowl to toss together the chicken strips, diced pineapple, chopped red pepper, and onions. Then, the seasoning: garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and a zest of lime and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Then, mix the ingredients.

Step 2. Cover and Refrigerate

Wrap the dish with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Reminder: Prepare the ingredients before you leave to work or at night before going to bed. Refrigerating the dish overnight is crucial to make it come together.

Step 3. Start Baking

Pour the chicken mix into a baking dish, then start baking. Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake for 30-40 minutes. Stir occasionally until your chicken meat is cooked completely and the pineapple has been browned and caramelized. Now you’re done! Serve hot or let it cool before you serve.

 

Chicken Fingers with Honey Mustard Sauce

|

Ingredients:

  • sliced chicken breasts (4 medium pieces)
  • 3 tbsp of chili seasoning or cajun
  • 3 medium sized eggs
  • 3/4 cup of flour
  • 2 cups quinoa (cooked and cooled)

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
  • lemon juice to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1. Mix Flour and Seasoning

Mix together the flour and cajun seasoning in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Then, set aside.

Tip: There are so many seasoning options like Italian seasoning, Greek seasoning, or plain chili powder. You can choose anything you like.

Step 2. Beat the Eggs

Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and set aside.

Step 3. Bread the Chicken Fingers

Bread the chicken fingers by lightly coating the chicken strips with the flour mixture, beaten eggs, and then cooked quinoa. Place the coated chicken strips on a baking sheet (preferably parchment paper). Continue breading the remaining strips.

Step 4. Bake at 400°F

Once your chicken strips are breaded, cook them in the oven at 400°F for between 20-30 minutes. It is best served while still hot. While baking the chicken strips, start preparing the honey mustard dipping sauce.

Tip: It is best to flip every chicken strip while baking to get the desired even browning. And if you’re making this ahead, you can have it refrigerated for up to 3 days too.

Step 5. Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

Whisk together yogurt, honey, mustard, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. You can add the pepper and salt just enough to taste. You’re done! Now you’re ready to serve your healthy and scrumptious chicken fingers with a delectable honey mustard sauce. Enjoy!
