Pineapple Chicken

So, I'm pretty proud of myself. We've been cutting back on eating out and trying to make better food choices. We're still trying to get better at the whole "plan out a menu so you always have enough of the right food in the house." So, I'm left on Monday night with half of a chicken in the freezer and little in mind to do with it. Half a chicken and a can of pineapple slices in 100% juice.

As Dan is fond of telling his student workers: Google is your friend. I Googled chicken and pineapple recipes and came up with the following yumminess:

1/4 c . pineapple juice
1/4 c. low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ginger
Combine to form a sauce, pour over chicken. Turn chicken in roasting pan skin-side up (I had already removed the skin, it still came out nicely done). Cook at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes. Remove from oven, lay pineapple slices on top of chicken, return to oven for 5 minutes.

I served it with brown rice. It has a great sweet and salty taste, and I am a SUCKER for pineapple (baked, grilled, roasted, regular, whatever). It's a winner for sure...and I used a can from the cupboard we didn't anticipate using. :)
