SKILLET PINEAPPLE BBQ CHICKEN
I whipped up this certainly smooth Skillet Pineapple BBQ chook, spooned it over some rice, and fixed a bit broccoli for the facet. I actually love skillet hen dishes due to the fact the browning action that you get in a skillet makes exquisite flavorful pan sauces with out the need for 1,000,000 elements.
This sauce combines candy pineapple, tangy BBQ sauce, and the savory fowl drippings for a to-die-for sauce. So clean and scrumptious, so little needed. That is an appropriate clean weeknight dinner!
I’ve had a component currently for awesome thinly sliced clean jalapenos, so I delivered those to the dish at the cease, however they are absolutely non-obligatory if you don’t need a spicy dish.
Also, you could definitely do that with chook breasts in preference to thighs. I do propose pounding the fowl breast to a fair thickness first to assist them cook dinner evenly (You don’t need the end to get hard and rubbery earlier than the thick component chefs thru).
