One of the main advantages of chicken is that it blends perfectly with a huge amount of food. The fillet of this bird can be prepared in hundreds of different ways and each of the prepared dishes will be unique. This article will discuss how chicken breasts are combined with pineapples and what can be prepared from them.
All dishes that can be prepared using chicken meat and fresh or canned pineapples as a basis can conditionally be divided into three large subgroups - hot main dishes, salads and snacks.
To prepare most of the main courses, chicken breast is ideal in this case. Pineapple in the recipes described below means a canned product that can be cut into rings or slices. The easiest way is to take two chicken breasts for three to four servings, rinse them well and cut into four large pieces. Then carefully rub the meat with spices and salt and send to a hot pan, on which it is first necessary to melt a tablespoon of butter. When the meat is almost ready, add to it one hundred grams of diced pineapples, grated apple on a coarse grater and a tablespoon of tomato paste. If necessary, you can add a little more salt and spices. Serve the meat hot, pouring sauce on top of the pan. As a side dish, chicken breast under pineapple will well "perceive" mashed potatoes or boiled rice.
If you have a little more time, then you can cook rolls, the basis is still using the same chicken breast with pineapples. To do this, cut the chicken fillet lengthwise, beat it off and leave for half an hour in the marinade. The marinade is prepared very simply: mix four tablespoons of vegetable oil and the same amount of soy sauce, add salt, a little red pepper, chopped garlic clove and a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. After that, put the pineapple slices on the meat and wrap it. Now it remains to dip the rolls in the egg, roll in breadcrumbs and fry until tender. It should be noted that the chicken breast in breadcrumbs should be baked properly - this will be the key to a delicious crisp.
A classic salad of chicken and pineapple is as follows. Cut the boiled chicken breast into small pieces, and then mix with approximately also sliced soft cheese, pieces of pineapple, olives and herbs. You can fill this salad with sour cream or cream, as well as soy sauce. This recipe can be greatly changed depending on your culinary preferences. For example, pickled mushrooms can be added to the salad (both champignons and butter can do for this), crab sticks or lettuce. Serve a salad based on chicken breast with pineapples is best slightly chilled.
Traditional appetizers made from chicken meat and pineapple can be considered small sandwiches on skewers. In fact, for this light meal, which can decorate not only a friendly party, but also a homemade dinner, you can use a huge number of products. Not only chopped boiled chicken breast with pineapples is suitable, but also the same pickled mushrooms, hard cheese, slices of bacon and other contents of your refrigerator. It is advisable to use bread not only white, but also rye to create the “foundation” of such snacks - this will bring additional variety to your table and make sandwiches even tastier.
The dishes described above are just a small part of how you can cook chicken and combine it with pineapples. In your kitchen, the preparation of dishes from these products will be limited only by your imagination.
