Pineapple Chicken

Pre-Order So God Made a Mother

I had fresh pineapple salsa on my mind when I entered the market. It was going to top off some perfectly grilled fish. It was barely noon, and I was drooling over what was going to be on my plate for dinner. But, as it turned out, the butcher didn’t have what I wanted (I was thinking swordfish or mahi mahi), so I could either give up my salsa idea or settle on chicken. Since I couldn’t quite get the pineapple salsa off my mind, and those ingredients were already in my cart, I opted for the chicken. It turned out to be a great substitution.

It was a quick dinner to prepare and one that I’m sure your entire family will enjoy! I served ours with a side of baked sweet potato w/a little butter, salt & pepper. It was a great compliment to the pineapple.

Simply marinate the chicken (I used skin on boneless breasts, but any cut will work) in your favorite teriyaki sauce and grill. Before serving top with pineapple salsa.

This fresh pineapple salsa would also be great on grilled fish or as a topping on tacos.

As always, feel free to visit my site Joy in Every Season for more delicious recipes.

Joy in Every Season Pineapple Chicken

Joy In Every Season

Renee is a wife (34 years and going strong), a mom (to three grown daughters and two son-in-laws), and Nana to four of the sweetest grand babies (# 5 is due in July). I am truly blessed! I am born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA and a fun little fact about me is that my husband and I went to kindergarten together. I love entertaining, whether it’s hosting a party, a large family BBQ, or simply a dinner for two. I also enjoy gardening, photography, my home, an occasional craft, and family & friends. Cooking and serving others in the comfort of my home truly brings me joy! After I retired from newborn photography, I decided that a food blog would combine many of my passions, thus "Joy in Every Season" was born! For a little more information on my, please check out the "about me" page at: www.joyineveryseason.com A favorite quote of mine is, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, I used everything you gave me.” Erma Bombeck

Valentine's Day snack mix by a white bowl

There is something about this time year that makes me hungry for a good snack mix. Maybe it’s the dull, grey weather. And, the fact that what I would really like to do is stay in my pajamas, on the couch with a good book or movie, and eat snack mix ALL day Long! With tea. Or better yet—wine. Wine goes with snack mix, doesn’t it? I really just love all the different flavors, textures, colors, and the fact that I can almost make a healthy meal out of this stuff. Protein —you betcha. Whole grains—of course! Fruit—yes. M&Ms—they are...

I woke up early to come wake you up. Even though you don’t need me to. Even though you’re capable of waking up on your own to your own alarm clock in your own room. Every day you become more independent and every day I’m wondering what my role is in your life. My motherhood job description keeps changing and I’m doing my best to keep up and change accordingly. So I woke up to wake you up so we could spend some early morning moments as just the two of us, the way it used to be before all...

The Mexican Brownie Disaster (Recipe Inside!)

In: Kitchen, Recipe Journal

Even as a teenage I remember browsing through my mom’s cookbooks, marking recipes that piqued my interest, but rarely seeing any through to fruition. In part, this was due to my mother’s love-hate relationship with the kitchen. Love because she believed strongly in family dinnertime and was happy to open our home and table to guests. Hate because she didn’t actually enjoy cooking and certainly wasn’t looking for opportunities to mix, chop, roast, or blend more than absolutely necessary. Market Day Chicken Stir Fry was a go-to and family favorite. I, on the other hand, thought it might be exciting...

Organize Your Pantry in 10 Easy Steps

In: Kitchen, Style

Having an unorganized pantry was causing me stress. Every time I opened it, it bothered me. And, if your household is anything like mine, the door to the pantry gets opened A LOT, everyday! There was no better time than after the holidays and the start of a new year: I was going to get it organized, no matter what. I assessed the project for quite some time, researching, and shopping, but I didn’t want it to look mismatched and like I had just thrown things together. I wanted it legit, organized like a pro. We don’t have a very...

I’m on the seventh day of a month-long highly restrictive diet to try to deal with some health issues I’ve been having. I want to get that information out of the way up front, just in case this post comes across a little “hangry.” As I’ve been dealing with cutting things from my diet and adding in new things to try to figure out why I’m having my current health issues, it has occurred to me how much time I’ve had to spend thinking about food that I used to spend being productive. It’s not just the actual food prep...

If We Can’t Have Jack Back from ‘This is Us’ At least We Can Put His Face on Our Crock-Pots

In: Humor, Kitchen

Business owners are smart. Especially Etsy shop owners who see an opportunity—like capitalizing on the latest American obsession. So here it is. For “This is Us” fans (hahaha—like there are people out there who AREN’T “This is Us” fans), Etsy shops are now offering Crock-Pot decals of phrases like “Unplug Me, Jack” and also images of his beautiful face. This is how we can bring him back, girls. And also keep our Crock-Pots. Kidding! Crock-Pot was very quick to defend their product after America’s sobfest 2018, saying in a statement: Crock-Pot understands the concerns brought up by last night’s episode...
