In this case, it&#8217;s just chicken, pineapple and a simple sauce. Unlike your go-to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sweet-and-sour-chicken-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/sweet-and-sour-chicken-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sweet-and-sour chicken<\/a> takeout, there&#8217;s no vinegar to contrast with the sweetness. Here, we use teriyaki or soy sauce sweetened with honey and a little pineapple juice. For a complete meal, serve pineapple chicken over hot cooked white or brown rice, or even cauliflower rice if you&#8217;re watching your carbs.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Pineapple Chicken<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boneless skinless chicken breasts:<\/strong> Perhaps the most versatile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-every-cut-of-chicken\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-every-cut-of-chicken\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cut of chicken<\/a>, boneless skinless breasts cook quickly, making them ideal for weeknight dinners. The rich sauce ensures that the lean chicken will be moist and flavorful. You can also use chicken thighs, if you like. They&#8217;ll take a bit longer to cook, but since thighs aren&#8217;t as lean as breasts, they will be extra juicy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned pineapple chunks:<\/strong> The signature tropical sweetness of pineapple chicken comes mainly from the fruit. Canned pineapple is convenient, cooks quickly and comes with plenty of juice for the sauce. You may use fresh pineapple if you prefer, but the pineapple may take a bit longer to cook and you&#8217;ll need extra pineapple juice on hand for the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teriyaki sauce:<\/strong> Thick, syrupy teriyaki sauce makes a delicious sweet glaze. (If you love the sauce, try our classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/teriyaki-chicken-recipe\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/teriyaki-chicken-recipe\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">teriyaki chicken recipe<\/a>.) If you prefer a more savory sauce, use soy sauce instead. You may also use gluten-free tamari.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> To thicken the sauce, this recipe calls for a teaspoon of cornstarch. Cornstarch is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-thickener\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-thickener\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best thickener<\/a> because it cooks quickly and leaves the sauce glossy and unctuous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2108694\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Pineapple-Chicken_TOHVS21_10314_BL_08_02_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"overhead shot of a person using tongs to coat a piece of chicken in flour the background is white wooden top\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using a meat mallet, flatten the chicken to a 1\/4-inch thickness.

Allow pineapple chicken to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the freezer directly in the sauce for up to four months.

Made as written, it just lacked flavor.  It was okay, but simply one of those recipes where you ask yourself, \"It needs something.  What?\"  I had already added poultry seasoning to the flour dredge.  Like others, I used all the pineapple juice, and could have had so much more for the amount of rice we needed.  I brightened the sauce by adding ground ginger and garlic powder, and then found it perfectly delightful.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2009-10-13","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanPretzel"},"reviewBody":"I love this dish!
