Sometimes you want to pamper yourself and your loved ones with some unusual dish that will cause admiring applause from the guests at the table. Today's recipe is about how to prepare an amazing dinner, spending very little time on it: chicken with pineapple in the oven, baked with potatoes and cheese.

Chicken with pineapples in the oven

Despite the fact that the chicken breast is quite dry, the chops from this fillet with additional ingredients are tender and incredibly tasty.

• chicken fillet (800-1000 gr.)
• canned pineapple rings (850 gr.)
• hard cheese (150-200 gr.)
• spices to taste: herbs de Provence, thyme, oregano
• potatoes (1000 gr.)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Mayonnaise (100-150 ml.)
• Fresh tomatoes (200-300g.)

Baked breast fillet with pineapple and cheese

First, let's prepare the chicken fillet. To do this, cut it into equal pieces. The thinner the pieces, the better. You can beat them off - then the meat will become more tender and cook faster. Spread the finished chops with salt, pepper and a mixture of seasonings, and marinate. You need to marinate for literally 20 minutes - you can do it in mayonnaise, or you can do it in pineapple juice.

While the chicken is marinating, peel and cut the potatoes into thin round slices. After this, place it on a pre-greased baking sheet in an even layer. Place pineapple rings on top. It’s okay if the pineapple slices do not cover the entire surface of the baking sheet. When preparing this dish, experienced chefs advise cutting thick slices lengthwise into two parts - this way the meat and fruit are baked evenly.

It's time to turn on the oven. Set the temperature to 200°C, there is no point in setting it lower - then the breast with pineapples will take longer to cook in the oven, and there is a possibility that it will not bake evenly.

Grate the cheese on a coarse grater and sprinkle it on top of the pineapples. Don't sprinkle it all over - we'll need the cheese later. Add mayonnaise on top of the cheese with a thin mesh. Soy sauce will give your dish a special taste. Next, spread the meat on top in an even layer. Try to cover the entire pan with meat. The remaining marinade can be poured over the dish - this will only improve its taste.

Our dish is almost ready to go into the oven, let’s add the finishing touches. Slice the tomato into thin slices and place evenly on top of the chicken. Again: try not to completely cover the pan with tomatoes - a distance of 2-3 centimeters between the pieces is quite acceptable.

That's all! Our masterpiece is ready! Place the baking sheet in the oven. Cooking time: 40 minutes. 10 minutes before cooking, remove the baking sheet with the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chicken fillet with pineapple with grated cheese again.

The main feature of this dish is that it does not require a side dish - it is self-sufficient. For beauty, the dish can be decorated with chopped herbs.

Whole chicken with pineapples baked in the oven is a real culinary masterpiece. This dish looks very rich and presentable on the table, so it is most often prepared for the holiday table. You certainly won’t cook chicken with pineapples every day, because not only is it not the cheapest pleasure, but the whole process does not take as little time as most housewives would like.

There are many variations of this recipe. There are not many differences from today’s version – it’s the marinade and the filling. The latter can be not only pineapples, but also other fruits: apples, pears, oranges, lemons, peaches. Instead of fruits, you can take mushrooms, pancakes, tomatoes, bell peppers, rice/buckwheat porridge, etc.

Despite all the subtleties of cooking, chicken in the oven is very easy to cook. For the recipe we need about one and a half kilograms of chicken (don’t forget to tar it thoroughly before using), one can of canned pineapple (can be replaced with fresh pineapple - about 350 grams), spices for chicken meat, salt and black pepper. These products are the “backbone” of the dish, so to speak, and their use in the recipe will allow you not to doubt the taste of the finished chicken.

It is also worth noting that the stuffing process must be taken responsibly. After all the pineapple slices/circles are in the chicken, it should be carefully sewn up with regular thread. Before putting in the oven, the ends of the chicken legs must be wrapped in foil - this will make the appearance of the finished dish more attractive. Chicken stuffed with pineapples is baked in the oven for about 90-100 minutes, so for dinner it needs to be prepared in advance, so that guests and household members do not have to wait long and suffer from the aroma that will emanate from behind the kitchen door. During this time, you can just prepare a side dish and several salads.

Recipe for cooking chicken with pineapples in the oven

When choosing a chicken breast for a dish, first of all, it is important to pay attention to the color. It should be pink, without whitish streaks or spots. If the food is fresh, it will not only give the dish excellent taste, but will also keep you healthy.

After the breast is selected, it is the turn of the pineapples. It is always important to remember that pineapples are tropical fruits and come from warm countries.

When all the products are ready, you need to rinse the chicken breast well and remove all the film. The next step is to cut it into medium-sized pieces. The pieces are rubbed with a mixture of salt and seasoning, the whole process is carried out very carefully.

The chicken meat is placed in a deep bowl, sprinkled with oregano seasoning and placed in a cold place for twenty minutes. This is necessary so that the breast is marinated and has a fragrant aroma.

While the meat is marinating, you should set the oven to a temperature of two hundred degrees. Attention, the oven must be well preheated. Next, the hard cheese is thoroughly grated, and the baking sheet on which the meat will be cooked is generously greased with butter.

The marinated chicken breast is placed one at a time on a baking sheet. The pieces of meat should have an interval of at least three centimeters between each other. Otherwise, the cheese that will be on top will not be able to melt well.

When preparing pineapples, do not drain the juice. It goes into the dish as the main ingredient, and when the pieces are already on the baking sheet, they need to be poured generously with pineapple juice. The pineapple itself, if it is rings, is recommended to be cut with a diameter of one centimeter.

Each piece of meat is topped with a few pre-cut pineapples. It should be remembered that juice gives the meat a delicate, aromatic taste, softens it, and makes it juicy.

Place the dish in the preheated oven for twenty minutes. After time has passed, remove the chicken and pineapples from the oven and generously sprinkle each piece with hard grated cheese.

Place in the oven for another seven minutes.

The finished dish will have a strong spicy aroma, delighting its tasters.

2. A good specimen has a beautiful and elastic golden skin;
3. When you feel and lightly press the fruit, it should be soft;
4. It is also recommended to tap the fruit; a dull sound indicates its ripeness and pulp.

Enjoy your meal!

Step 1: Prepare the fillet.

Freshly frozen chicken fillet is initially left at room temperature so that the meat is completely thawed. After this, we clean the pieces from films and fatty layers and rinse thoroughly in water. We cut the chicken into equal pieces, from which we will form chops. They should be medium in size. After this, cover each piece with cling film to prevent the fat from splashing, and lightly beat it with a kitchen hammer. It should be taken into account that chicken meat is very delicate in structure, so hitting it hard can tear it. When the chops are ready, put them in a bowl, salt, pepper and add spices to taste. Now it takes a little time for the meat to be saturated with salt. Leave the fillet for 15 minutes.

Step 2: Combine the ingredients.

Line a baking sheet with foil, which should be lightly greased with vegetable oil. This is necessary so that our meat does not burn and turns out especially juicy. Place chicken chops on the pan, grease each one liberally with mayonnaise using a spoon. Canned pineapples need to be cut into medium cubes, squeezed out of excess juice and placed in a heap on the fillet.

Step 3: Bake the dish.

Grind the hard cheese on a coarse grater. Generously coat each piece of chicken fillet with pineapple. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and place a baking sheet in it. The dish is baked at a temperature of 180 - 200 degrees for 30-40 minutes.

Step 4: Serve chicken fillet baked with pineapples.

Place the pieces of meat on a dish covered with lettuce leaves and serve hot. Although, it is worth noting that chicken fillet baked with pineapples is very tasty when chilled as an appetizer. Bon appetit!

The dish goes well with creamy garlic sauce and fresh vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers).

When using again, fillet baked with pineapples can be reheated in the microwave.

Sometimes the dish is prepared in a slightly different form: finely chopped pineapples are placed on the edge of large chops and the meat is rolled into a roll, which can be pinned together with toothpicks or tied with natural thread. The top of the roll is covered with cheese. This type of serving of food is considered more solemn and unusual.

And cheese in the oven - a wonderful dish for any special event. It requires a minimum of ingredients, you won’t have to fuss for a long time, and the taste will be delicate and piquant. And from the outside, this dish looks very festive and elegant.

Cooking fillet

Chicken recipes are very varied, but adding pineapple to this tender meat always adds some exoticism and piquancy. Chicken with pineapple and cheese in the oven cooks quite quickly, and it will take very little time to pre-prepare all the ingredients.

First, let's take a chicken fillet weighing about 700-800 grams. We rinse it thoroughly, dry it with a paper towel or let the water drain, and then cut the carcasses crosswise into not very wide layers, removing films and veins.

Then we take a kitchen hammer in our hands and beat the meat on both sides. Salt, pepper, add spices and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to marinate. Then the meat will be perfectly soaked and juicy.

Fresh or canned?

The question of what tastes better, chicken with canned pineapples or fresh, does not have a clear answer. After all, there is no arguing about tastes. If you prepare a dish with fresh fruit, it will give off more sourness, and the pineapple itself can be cut both lengthwise and crosswise, as soon as your imagination tells you.

But if you don’t have fresh pineapple at hand, canning will come to the rescue. Now in stores there is a fairly large selection of this fruit: cut into rings, semicircles and pieces. If you take canned pineapple for cooking, then you need to put it in a colander to drain the juice, which you can then safely drink.

Two options for one dish

Chicken with pineapple and cheese in the oven can be prepared in two ways. The first is when we lay out all the ingredients at once. So, carefully place the marinated mixture on a baking sheet, which has been previously greased with vegetable oil. Top each piece of meat with a piece of pineapple. Sprinkle all this beauty with grated cheese (for 700 grams of chicken fillet, 200 grams of hard cheese will be enough). Those who like a richer dish can put a couple of spoons of mayonnaise on top. However, even without this sauce the dish will turn out quite soft and juicy. Bake in the oven for about half an hour. The cheese will spread, and you will end up with a single piece of meat.

If you cook according to the second method, then first you need to bake the chicken fillet separately in the oven - 15 minutes on one side and 10 on the other. Then we transfer each piece to another baking sheet, cover the meat with a pineapple ring, sprinkle with cheese and place in the oven for another 7 minutes. The advantages of the second method are that with this cooking, each piece lies separately, in portions, it is more convenient to remove it from the baking sheet and , accordingly, serve to the table. And since the pineapple has been cooked for very little time, it will be almost like fresh.

This dish can be cooked on what is called an onion base. Cut 3-4 medium onions into rings and place them on a baking sheet. Above are the main ingredients. If you are afraid that the dish will burn, you can place aluminum foil or oiled paper on a baking sheet.

In the food sleeve

But here is just amazingly juicy chicken with pineapples and cheese in the oven, which is prepared using a food sleeve. We will need approximately 900 grams of chicken fillet, which we will first cut into large pieces. But for this recipe you can use both wings and drumsticks. Salt and pepper the meat, add dry spices. It is better to take fresh pineapple - 500-600 grams of exotic fruit is enough for this volume. We also cut it into pieces and mix it with the chicken. Add grated cheese.

We put this whole mixture in a sleeve, seal it on both sides, leaving enough space for air, and put it in the oven for 30-40 minutes. The meat will be perfectly soaked in juice and melted cheese, acquiring a golden crust and extraordinary juiciness!

Place on a large platter and place the finished dish on top. For decoration you can use cherry tomatoes, olives or olives, herbs. For a side dish, you can boil potatoes or rice, pasta or buckwheat.

How long to bake?

How quickly does chicken cook, and how long should I bake it in the oven? It all depends on the size of the pieces of meat and on your desire to get a crispy crust on the dish or, conversely, to simmer the chicken so that it is thoroughly stewed. The larger the chicken pieces, the longer it will take to bake. If you do not beat the chicken fillet, but place it whole on a baking sheet, then the cooking time will take approximately 40-50 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.

If the meat is cut into thinner layers and well beaten, half an hour will be enough. If you want to get a crispy crust, then immediately turn on high heat, 250 degrees, and place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. After 10 minutes, the heat should be reduced to 180 degrees and the food should be cooked for another 20-30 minutes. Then let the dish cool - it just needs to sit in the kitchen for 10 minutes. And after that you can immediately serve it to the table.

Spicy salad

Chicken recipes require not only hot serving, but also cold appetizers in the form of salads. If you want to make a spicy dish, you will need the following ingredients: chicken, pineapple, cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. Boil chicken fillet (take 500 grams) in salted water (later this broth can be used to prepare first courses). Let the meat cool and cut it into small pieces (approximately 3 by 3 centimeters in size). Add chopped pineapples (200 grams) to the meat. Grate the same amount of hard cheese and add 3-4 cloves of finely chopped garlic to it. Mix all the ingredients and season the salad with mayonnaise. We put this beauty in a deep vase and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Before serving, you can put a few pineapple rings on top of the salad - this will decorate the dish. You can also sprinkle the salad with pine nuts or grated walnuts. Basil, cilantro, and parsley leaves are perfect for decoration.
