The ingredients for Pineapple Chicken Marinade are:

1-1.5 lbs of chicken boneless, skinless
1/3 pineapple juice
2 cloves garlic OR 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp of basil OR thyme
3 tbsp cooking oil
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

Here is how you make Pineapple Chicken Marinade:

Combine all of the ingredients in a plastic bag for the marinade and put the chicken inside. Set the bag in a shallow bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. If you use cloves of garlic rather than buying the minced stuff you will have to dice the cloves. I used the pineapple juice from some canned pineapple. You can also substitute thyme for basil and it works the same. Eventually I plan on trying cilantro instead of basil or thyme.You can either broil this or just bake it.To broil: Preheat the broiler, drain the chicken reserving marinade. Place the chicken on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat about 6 minutes or until light brown. Turn the chicken and brush the other side lightly with reserved marinade. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes more until chicken is no longer pink.To bake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook 15 minutes on one side. Turn the chicken over brush lightly with reserved marinade and bake another 15 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.This makes 4 servings if you used just 1lbs of chicken and 6 servings if you used 1.5lbs of chicken.Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SASSIECAS.
