Pineapple Chicken!

Yemaya1129

Had it tonight and it was really good and easy to make. I adapted it a bit from the Jenny Craig website recipe:

Ingredients:

1 20-oz can crushed pineapple
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. veggie oil
2 tbsp. dried oregano leaves
1 tsp. minced garlic
5 boneless chicken breast halves

Directions:

Combine undrained pineapple, lemon juice, veggie oil, oregano and garlic in a large, non-metallic bowl. Add chicken, turning to coat all sides. Cover and marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. (Note: You can get away with 15 minutes if you're in a hurry, but I like a fuller flavor.)

Broil chicken in marinade for about 10-15 minutes, brushing chicken with marinade occasionally. When done, chicken will no longer be pink and pineapple marinade will be slightly golden brown. Discard remaining marinade and serve.
