Pineapple Chicken Thighs
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
3″ piece fresh ginger, sliced into 1/4″ pieces
2/3 C. pineapple juice
2 T. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 T. sesame seeds
1 C. pineapple chunks
3 green onions, sliced (including greens)
Coat a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the chicken and ginger and cook, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is well browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together the pineapple juice and soy sauce. Pour into the frying pan and bring to a boil. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover, add the sesame seeds and pineapple chunks and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until it is opaque throughout and the liquid remaining in the pan has reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes. Arrange the chicken, ginger and pineapple on a large platter. Spoon glaze over each piece of chicken & garnish with green onion.
