Aloha Chicken and Pineapple

Who can resist pineapples? : )

This recipe is simple to follow & yet finger-licking good!
It goes well with rice, or you can make a sandwich out of this : )















Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
[I tweaked it and used Thighs instead : b]
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple in juice,
pineapple drained and 1 tablespoon juice reserved.

Instructions:
1) Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2) Combine pineapple juice, oil, honey, vinegar, soy sauce and mustard;
shake marinade well.
3) Toss chicken with 3 tablespoons of marinade to coat,
discarding chicken marinade when done.
4) Brush pineapple rings with other half of marinade,
reserving leftover marinade.
5) Coat 2 large baking dishes with vegetable oil spray.
Arrange chicken and pineapple rings in a single layer.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until chicken's juices run clear.
6) Before serving, brush chicken with leftover marinade.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
