Cave Girl Lemony Pineapple Chicken

In an effort to improve our energy levels, moods, and  overall health, my hubby and I have decided to try out the Paleo lifestyle. The basic idea is that you only eat foods that you could've found if you lived in the Paleolithic age. This site contains some very basic info about the lifestyle, if you're interested-  Intro to Paleo

Tonight, I made my 1st Paleo friendly dinner and it was very good! 

Cave Girl Lemony Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients:


  • 1 can sliced pineapple (I used a 20 ounce can)
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • Cornstarch (1 tbsp)
  • Worcestershire sauce (2 tsp)
  • Dijon Mustard (2 tsp)
  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (5-6 ounce)
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

First, you make the sauce. Drain the pineapple juice from the can into a small mixing bowl and add the garlic, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Mix together. 

Next, you arrange the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish (9 x 13 worked very well) and pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.



Bake for about 25 minutes (depending on thickness of your chicken breasts).

Then, you arrange the lemon slices and pineapple slices on top of the chicken breasts and baste with the sauce in dish. 



Bake for another 5-7 minutes and you're done! Enjoy!
