Baked Pineapple Chicken

I made this a couple of weeks ago. I followed most of the recipe. All except marinade time and baking. Still kind of gun shy with chicken in the oven. I did it on the stove top. So I guess the title is misleading. [ Especially to those that may have a 2nd glass of wine or be hitting the heavy stuff : ) ] I marinaded overnight and also added some of the pineapple juice to it. I used 7 b/s breast and doubled everything. This came out perfect. So tender and moist. Thank you SilverQueen for a great recipe

Hey, pso, MrP found the rest of the celery!
:-D
That's a different combination of things to put on chicken. I never would have thought of pineapple and orange and chicken. I'm thinking a little brown sugar may go along as well, although perhaps then it would be too sweet. Thanks for showing us!
And ml2c and I have no idea who you would be referring to.

Lol your too funny Mr P!! No wine for me right now so I understood this time ;) That celery leaf looks so pretty between those two chickens!

I know we would love this...maybe not the daughter though, she seems to not like sweet/meat combo. I may make her eat it anyway, I'm just mean that way ;)

Here's a little blurb about meat tenderizing with pineapple:
Fresh pineapple juice is an excellent ingredient for a marinade because it contains one of the most powerful natural tenderizers, the enzyme bromelin, which is very efficient in breaking down protein. This enzyme is destroyed if it is heated, so when using pineapple juice for the purpose of tenderizing meat, the juice must be fresh. (Any previously cooked or canned pineapple juice has no effect on tenderization).
So stick some fresh pineapple juice in with your marinate for tougher cuts of meat to help it down the path of delicious and tender.

Thanks for the information, pso. I had no idea that pineapple juice would tenderize meat!

I thought it would be sweeter than it actually was. especially with the marmalade. So I dont think brown sugar would be too much.

ML2C, my dad used to make me eat stuff too. Worked with most stuff. Never liver tho. =►
Points. Thank you for the pineapple juice tips.
